Wood Shop Update - March 31, 2010

We really need someone to serve as the official photograper. It is very tough to stop something when you are in the midst of the task, pick up the camera, etc. So here is a note about Gerry Dettloff, Pete Galayda and others who solved a problem with our Boice Crane planer. Mission accomplished, thank you.

A Milestone

This image is of an historic event. John Faulhaber and Victor Humphreys are completeing the LAST piece of milling for 1600 feet of new battens for the depot. Probably this is our largest 'production run' on the shaper since we acquired the machine.

Planning

And then it is OFF TO THE RACES on the next project. We have been asked to make 12 new drop sash for the CA&E steel cars and Rich Witt is creating a set of plan drawings. From the samples that have been removed and examined, there are no two that are the same. Choices, choices.

Parts

But time waits for no man and here VIctor Humphreys is stacking 48 new parts for the sash - roughed out and ready for ripping, jointing, and planing. Maybe on Saturday?

Can summer be far away? We also started cutting and milling wood for new tack boards for the URTX 26640 insulated boxcar.

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?

Max, Has work begun yet on the construction phase of erecting the poles and putting up the wire? Wish I could be there to watch it happen.
