STEP BY STEP GUIDE

These instructions were printed out and posted around the shop. I knew that I had no chance of personally showing everyone what to do. The solution was to provide these sheets that showed all the details people need to finish their particular job assembly. I tried to have these sheets resemble that of a LEGO booklet since everyone my age is familiar with those.

Slide #1 of 5: The prep work included designing the swings, of course, but also machining several components that required extra effort. Pictured is the shelf of wooden precursors, some of which had been pre-CNC'd for accuracy. In addition to wood precut components, I also designed and precut 16 aluminum plates which strengthened a weak area on the swing that had worried me and the structural engineer I asked to review my design.
