Monday, February 8. 2010Michigan Electric 28 Update - February 7, 2010 Getting in Shape Jeff Colandine, from the steam shop, was helping Jeff Brady on the shaper. Jeff B. (hiding behind the shaper dust pickup) installed some modifications to the shaper setup and we produced the raised panels for the baggage door project, slick as a whistle. At least the shaping was done very quickly and successfully on the long edges of the panel.  Worth a Closer Look Jeff C. is removing panel number four from the third pass through the shaper. This close up shows the top two edges complete for these double sided panels. It is very confusing to shout "Hey Jeff" and have two guys turn around. Maybe one of them should pick out a shop nickname. Of course Jeff Obarek was working in the Electric Car Shop so that makes it a triple play on "Jeff' for a Sunday afternoon.  Saddles While all the noise was being made in the west end of the shop, Ray Schmid was working on new saddles and by day's end they had all been primed.
Monday, February 8. 2010Wood Shop Update - February 7, 2010 2050 Project Victor Humphreys began the painting and finishing of the new windows produced for N&W 2050.  319 Windows Frank Hicks was continuing the priming on the project to renew windows on the CA&E 319.  Cleaning Up Dick Lukin stopped back in the shop after working on and visiting the new arrivals in Barn 8. Thank goodness for someone willing to help on the projects. Here he 'polices' the shaper area after ME 28 panel raising, while Jeff Brady works to construct a new fixture for the shaper. |

I was not around at the time. General discussion suggests that it was "pretty marginal" in a number of areas. Nigel

No, it will not be necessary to hold any of the work waiting for the plow to be turned, end for end. Weather will be the major factor, but there will [...]

Ah yes, I have made such Jibs myself. If it were me, I would add in each corner an angled piece from the base to the Jib to act as sway bracing. [...]
