Day 9: Production day

Today we concentrated on cutting all the pieces and drilling all the holes to have them all ready for the assembly. We took measurements for the partition of the beam and figured out a new and faster way to do the holes on them. Instead of marking each one of them separately we decided to mark one and drill through all the plywood panels in one go. That boosted our productivity and saved us from a lot of wasted time on marking and labeling which proved to be inefficient anyway.

Making sure the panels are strengthened on the right spots


The problem we were facing in the previous days was that the panels were marked as individual pieces and because of the manual marking and human error tolerance we kept ending up with holes that wouldn't match with each other. Therefore, we used clamps to have all the panels aligned and then drilled the holes through all the layers.
While all the drilling was happening, the dowels were being cut in specific sizes for the interlocks between the beams and posts and thus we would ideally have all the pieces ready for assembly tomorrow.
