It’s been a busy month: DCD Design have created a new how-to video for the Eagle Cable Lasher, demonstrating some of the features and showing you how to load the lashing wire. (This ties in to next month’s promotion. Subscribe to the mailing list and keep an eye out for updates.)
We put this one together on the workbench and outside on our ‘test line’ to show off the lightweight Eagle. Like the larger Lineman lasher, it uses tension from the lashing wire to drive the drum, not traction on the strand. As long as you’re moving forward, you’re spinning!
In other news, we’ve just finished an intensive four-day basic training for Solidworks 3D software. It’s astonishing what this software can do: if you can sketch it on a napkin at lunch, we can create a 3D model by the end of the day! DCD Design have always been progressive when it comes to listening to our customer’s requirements; now we can assess and turn around a new design faster than ever before.
AND! Direct Horizontal Drilling of Edmonton have been setting up for a river crossing in the neighbourhood: a new gas pipeline is going to be pulled under the Fraser River tonight! Good luck and smooth pulling to them.
The DCD Manufacturing Group had their annual golf tournament on Monday the 5th, to coincide with the Independence Day long weekend. The weather cooperated in the end, and the afternoon got nicer as the strokes added up.
This has become a tradition for DCD Design: to bring together office and shop staff, our vendors, and our associated Group companies to enjoy a team-scramble to the top of the heap! Trophies were awarded, great prizes from our generous vendors were drawn, and we enjoyed dinner and a beverage with the Group in the late-afternoon sun.
For my once-or-twice a year outing, I’m glad to say I only lost one ball – unfairly – up a particularly thick evergreen! Otherwise, we all had an excellent round.
