Wood Shop Update - June 6, 2010

Sign Box

Rich Witt made a rare Sunday visit to the shop and fit all the thin beading strips needed to mount the glass. Then later, he proceeded to begin applying the first coat of finished red paint, since this is slated for CA&E 409.

George Clark was working on the Lake Shore Electric 810, I managed some more repair work on the SS 68, Kevin Tudor and family glazed two windows for the C&IM coach, and we also did a clipper lacing splice on a leather drive belt for the steam shop.

That car has been moved inside to keep the weather out as windows are repaired. I think it's in a barn that's not open to the public.
