Simondo Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 We had a really good laugh at that bar and about 10 of us drank it dry of champers 🍸... A great experience 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Many thanks for that Pally. The reason i wanted to post this is because i had just caught up on the thread about "Broad Ambition, the model", and made a comment that i have skills but no dexterity. Well, my skills went in to building the horshoe bar in the pic. I built the fiirst 8 of them for the Emirates 380 fleet. Now they have the mk2 version, which i`ve had no input. I`was also involved in the manufacture of the the chilled bar immediately behind, as well as the sofas which are a bit out of shot. To the right, but out of shot, though you can just see the small cut off at the bottom right of the picture, is a trolley stowage unit with a massive monitor screen above. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 The company i work for won a contract to manufacture a seat deviding console, which combined a mini bar, magazine rack, and a couple of small lockers, one which contained the lifejacket, the other contained a pair of slippers and an eye cover for relaxation and sleeping. I was tasked to finish the mock up, which was sent out to the customer (Sicma seeting, and Emirates) which they wanted changeing. I did all the mods, including suggestions for design and manufacturing modification, and resubmitted it. The customers acceopted it, and i took it through to full production and "first article inspection". It turned out it was the classic "spratt to catch a mackerel" job. It was also the project that saved the company. I felt a lot of pride in what i achieved, but, after i built the round bars, i got sideways moved because i caught the production manager out lying, which really hit me hard. As such, i was never given a chance to work on any more of the major executive projects again, despite having several section supervisors requesting me to be transfered to their projects. Needles to say, i lost faith in the company, and although i still work there, i`m counting down the last 3 1/2 years til i retire. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I have probably seen your craftmanship which makes a huge difference in the 14hr haul from the Gulf to Melbourne. Especially the private shower and toilet. The Emirates 380 is so luxurious. I know it is all economics but the Dreamliner is notin the same class for passenger comfort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the unit I built was an in-between unit. It separated 2 centre line seats and was floor standing. I never really took many pics of the things I've built, because I always thought I'd be in trouble, now however, I think i'l take them for memories sake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I saw a card the other day (I wont scan it here because of copyright). It was for a birthday and the front of it had a heading WINE OFFER - DRINK ONE BOTTLE & FORGET WHAT YOU PAID FOR THE SECOND ONE!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 A birthday card I enjoyed, given modern trends, showed a waiter standing at the table of a couple of diners, with one diner saying... "Oh not for me thank you, I couldn't photograph another thing." 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
