Tuesday, October 5. 2010Wood Shop Update - October 3, 2010Apologies here as I am struggling to climb the learning curve trying to use a new camera. Or at least new to me, since I am finding things like memory cards and accessories are not available generally, technology having leapfrogged this model while it was still in the box on the store shelf. But here we go for last Sunday. The Step Box Boys, Jim and Tom Windmeier, were back in the shop continuing their project, building a dozen or so wood replica step boxes to assist our visitors in boarding.  Slice It Tom was slicing some wood on our tablesaw.  Boxes Everywhere And later both were on one of the workbenches sanding and fitting pads to the bottom of the four legs.  Roof Work Norm Krentel and Jeff Brady continue to install custom panels on the roof of the Michigan Electric 28. Just as most restoration work, it deserves a chapter in the new book - "NOTHING IS EVER SIMPLE". But progress continues to be made. |
