Title: Managing Projects
Post by: dfurlano on March 21, 2007, 09:34:21 PM

Well not sure that this goes in show "n" tell but I think it is close...

Thought i would post how I am starting to manage a pen project in Microsoft OneNote which is a notes management software tool.

Here is the main page notice the tabs across the top:

From the main page I created an index of all the components I wanted to document.  So far I have only done the compass.

Next you can go to the compass main page folder now notice the tabs on the right side.  These are the steps in the process. I will show each one:

Now into the first tab marked set-up:

Next is the raw material.  I can put a link to the website and I saved the page as a PDF encase the page ever changes.

Next is the DXF drawing file.  I posted a photo and attached the actual file into the page:

G-code is the same style with a picture and the file:

Next is the tool I used to make the cut again I pasted the website and this time I did a screen capture of the tool.

Next I described how I sharpened the tool. This page is long with many pictures and a step by step method.

Next is the machine set-up again this is fairly long but I only captured a page to show it here:

This is the bending process:

And finally the enameling process:

Just thought I would share the idea.
