Wood Shop Update - June 23, 2010

409 Signbox

John Faulhaber and Rich Witt make some fine adjustment cuts on the new 409 signbox sash, otherwise completed in the preceeding few weeks.

Caboose parts

Buzz Morissette is tinkering with some small trim and window sill parts for the MILW 01984 caboose project.

Battens

Summer employee Mark Osiecki is in the new shop addition space to stay out of the rain. He is painting the new station battens produced in our woodshop. Carl Ilwitzer was also engaged in a similar task at the other end of the room.

Unexpected Help

We got some unexpected volunteer help Wednesday morning. Steve Binning of St. Louis, Eric Starr, and Marilyn Starr are stripping paint in the late afternoon on an interior panel removed from the Shaker Heights 63 PCC car.
