Sunday, March 14. 2010Wood Shop Update - March 13, 2010 Fitting the Beading To start this entry, here is Rich Witt with the woodwork about done for the new sash for CA&E 409, the frame in primer, and a slew of new window beading to retain the glazing.  Getting in Shape Next a shot of Victor Humphreys removing molded stock from the shaper. This is the test piece for new battens for our depot, the east end. Custom knives were produced to be able to accurately reproduce the profile of these pieces. Needless to say, nothing today is commercially available, even close, so it is the Wood Shop to the rescue. We spent much of the day on set up to run this stock, and were fairly successful - one more revision to the fence today is needed. When the lumber arrives, we will be off to the races.  It Is a Pane Finally, here is Bill Moran taking a turn on window work for the CA&E 319. A good man who is ready and willing to take on almost any task. Sunday, March 14. 2010Cleveland 4223 - March 13, 2010 It Does a Body Good Just a quick note in this category to show a pic of Eric Lorenz working on the front end of our Cleveland PCC. With the 'summerlike' 40F temps, Eric was sanding down the current primer coat in spots and adding more filler to make the contours more perfect. Of course that will mean paint touch up later. |
