STEPS AND PROCEDURE: CENTER PLATE

·        When I received the workpiece(Center Plate) I chose where I will start my phase 1. When I finally chose where I will start my phase 1.  

·        I set my workpiece(Center Plate) to phase 1 and put it on the Bench Vise. When my workpiece(Center Plate) is finally set to Bench Vise.

·        I get my Flat file to start working with my workpiece(Center Plate). When I finally have my Flat file. This is the time to do my work.

·        I started filing my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 to remove the unnecessary extra steel and to make it clean. When I finally removed the unnecessary extra steel and when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 is cleaned.

·        I need to make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 is straight. I can make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 is straight is by using a tri-square on it.

·        Since I don’t have my own tri-square. I will go to the tool room and borrow some tri-square. When I finally got my tri-square.

·        I will put my tri-square on my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 and check if my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 is straight.

·        To know it easily I removed my workpiece(Center Plate) out of the Bench Vise and put it on the light together with the tri-square. When I saw some light, I knew that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 is not yet straight.

·        When I finally knew that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 is not yet straight.

·        I will put my workpiece(Center Plate) back to the Bench Vise again and I will continue to file it again until I make it straight.

·        When I finally finished filing my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1. I will remove it out of the Bench Vise again.

·        I will put it into the light together with the tri-square again to see if my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 is finally straight. When I finally don’t see a light, that’s when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 1 is finally straight.

·        Now that I’m done working with my phase 1. I will clean first my Bench Vise and workarea so I can proceed working with my phase 2. When my Bench Vise and workarea is finally cleaned.

·        I will set my workpiece(Center Plate) to phase 2 and put it on the Bench Vise. When my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 is finally set on the Bench Vise.

·        Just like my phase 1 I will file it until the unnecessary extra steel be removed and my workpiece(Center Plate) is cleaned. When I finally removed the unnecessary extra steel and when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 is cleaned.

·        I need to make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 is straight and even on my phase 1. I can make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 is straight and even on my phase 1 is by using a tri-square.

·        I will put my tri-square on my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 and check if my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 is straight and even on my phase 1.

·        Again to know it easily I removed my workpiece(Center Plate) out of the Bench Vise and put it on the light together with the tri-square. When I saw some light, I knew that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 is not yet straight.

·        I will put my workpiece(Center Plate) back to the Bench Vise again and I will continue to file it again until I make it straight and even on my phase 1.

·        When I finally finished filing my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2. I will remove it out of the Bench Vise again.

·        I will put it into the light together with the tri-square again to see if my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 is finally straight and even on my phase 1. When I finally don’t see a light, that’s when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 is finally straight and even on my phase 1.

·        Now that I’m done working with my phase 2. I will clean again my Bench Vise and workarea so I can proceed working with my phase 3. When my Bench Vise and workarea is finally cleaned.

·        I will set my workpiece(Center Plate) to phase 3 and put it on the Bench Vise again. When my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 3 is finally set on the Bench Vise.

·        I will file it until the unnecessary extra steel be removed and my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 3 is cleaned. Since its wider than phase 1 and 2, I need to do an extra work for me to finish it quickly. When I finally removed the unnecessary extra steel and when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 3 is cleaned.

·        Again I need to make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 3 is straight. I can make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 3 is straight is by using a tri-square on it.

·        I will put my tri-square on my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 3 and check if my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 3 is straight.

·        I will put my workpiece(Center Plate) back to the Bench Vise again and I will continue to file it again until I make it straight.

·        When I finally finished filing my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 3. I will remove it out of the Bench Vise again.

·        I will put it into the light together with the tri-square again to see if my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 3 is finally straight. When I finally don’t see a light, that’s when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 2 is finally straight.

·        Now that I’m done working with my phase 3. I will clean first my Bench Vise and workarea so I can proceed working with my phase 4. When my Bench Vise and workarea is finally cleaned.

·        I will set my workpiece(Center Plate) to phase 4 and put it on the Bench Vise again. When my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 4 is finally set on the Bench Vise.

·        I will file it until the unnecessary extra steel be removed and my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 4 is cleaned. Just like phase 3 its wider than phase 1 and 2 so I need to do an extra work again for me to finish it quickly. When I finally removed the unnecessary extra steel and when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 4 is cleaned.

·        I need to make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 4 is straight and even on my phase 3. I can make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 4 is straight and even on my phase 3 is by using a tri-square.

·        I will put my tri-square on my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 4 and check if my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 4 is straight and even on my phase 3.

·        Again to know it easily I removed my workpiece(Center Plate) out of the Bench Vise and put it on the light together with the tri-square. When I saw some light, I knew that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 4 is not yet straight.

When I finally don’t see a light, that’s when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 4 is finally straight and even on my phase 3.

·        Now that I’m done working with my phase 4. I will clean again my Bench Vise and workarea so I can proceed working with my phase 5. When my Bench Vise and workarea is finally cleaned.

·        I will set my workpiece(Center Plate) to phase 5 and put it on the Bench Vise again. When my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 5 is finally set on the Bench Vise.

·        I will file it too until the unnecessary extra steel be removed and my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 5 is cleaned. Since it’s the biggest part of the plate, I need to exert some strength to finish it quickly. When I finally removed the unnecessary extra steel and when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 5 is cleaned.

·        Again I need to make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 5 is straight. I can make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 5 is straight is by using a tri-square on it.

·        I will put my tri-square on my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 5 and check if my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 5 is straight.

·        Now that I’m done working with my phase 5. I will clean first my Bench Vise and workarea so I can proceed working with my phase 6 the last phase. When my Bench Vise and workarea is finally cleaned.

·        I will set my workpiece(Center Plate) to phase 6 and put it on the Bench Vise again. When my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 6 is finally set on the Bench Vise.

·        I will file it until the unnecessary extra steel be removed and my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 6 is cleaned. Just like phase 5 it’s the biggest part of the plate so I need to exert some strength too to finish it quickly. When I finally removed the unnecessary extra steel and when I’m sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 6 is cleaned.

·        Again I need to make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 6 is straight and even on my phase 5. I can make sure that my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 6 is straight and even on my phase 5 is by using a tri-square on it.

·        I will put my tri-square on my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 6 and check if my workpiece(Center Plate) phase 6 is straight.

·        When all of the phases of my workpiece(Center Plate) has been done.

·        I put a lay-out on it. When I finished putting a layout on it.

·        I center punched all that needs to be center punched. When I’m finished center punched all the lay out.

·        I go to the drill press and drill all my center punched layout on my workpiece(Center Plate) on phase 5 or 6.

·        I used hacksaw to remove the unnecessary extra steel on my workpiece(Center Plate) and to removed all that don’t need on the lay-out.

·        I file it again to remove the unnecessary extra steel and to clean all my lay-out. When all my lay-out is cleaned.

·        I used sand paper to remove all the stain and make my workpiece(Center Plate) fine and shiny.

·        That’s how I finish my workpiece(Center Plate).

CONCLUSION:

I therefore conclude that it’s not about how you quickly file your work or how hard you file your work. You just need to be consistent on what you are doing and don’t mind all the negativities on your surroundings. Work hard and work smart don’t let others work bother yours. Just do what you need to do. Make your own way have your own strategy. Do your work, put a perseverance on your work and you will never be left behind. Don’t let others tell you that you can never finish your work. Never give up the beginning is always the hardest. Trust in yourself, have courage.
