Wood Shop Update - March 14, 2020

Ray Schmid Photo

I did not get a chance to snap any pics Sunday but here is shot shared by Ray Schmid. Bob Sundelin is removing some new batten molding from the shaper while I am at the power feeder controls. Sunday was spent fine tuning the fences and guides for producing this stock as one of the next shop projects.

Next, here are some photos submitted by Gwyn Stupar.

Batten

Here is a side by side comparison of the new molding manufactured in our wood shop compared to the circa late 1800's stock found on our depot.

Fencing

We have an amazing collection of restored and working machines in the wood shop. But the key is to 'outsmart' them using fences, jigs, and other aids. We ran off some test battens on Saturday and decided we could do better. So, here I am hoveling out some wood on the back of the shaper fence (also made by us) to be able to tweak it just a bit.

Hardware

Not exactly a picture of anyone making sawdust, but Tim Peters is continuing the restoration work on CRT 1268. Here, he is cleaning some hardware and linkage for operating the clerestory windows.

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 [...]

Thanks for the update! I still don't understand why Commonwealth #5 was removed from service. Do you know why?
