More Paperwork
Sunday, March 30, 2008
Today, I finished cleaning off the Plans Book and its binder. Then, I made a photocopy of the entire plans book. Each page required two shots (reduced in size) on our photocopier. Then, the individual pages had to be matched and taped together to make a readable set of plans. The idea here was to use the photocopies as my shop plans – plans that I could make notes on and get dirty without having to worry about damaging the originals. That job took a good part of the day.
Once the plans were copied, I started typing up a parts spreadsheet, based on the parts lists that came with the original plans. I had found that this helped a lot when trying to keep track of everything on a Volkswagen MG-TD kit car project that I had built earlier, so I figured that I’d do the same thing here. The list is not only useful for remembering all of the parts, it also helps me locate where the parts are stored and to keep track of the condition and status of the parts (need to replace, need to clean, need to paint, ready to go, etc.)
