Sunday, March 27. 2011Wood Shop Update - March 26, 2011 The Stack Lorne Tweed adds one more glued up window frame to the growing stack on the workbench behind him. He and Rich Witt continued work on this project, gluing up two more frames, dry fitting another frame and machining parts to complete the job.  Oh Well Victor Humphreys works to complete metal repairs on another of the step well end plates for caboose ATSF 1400. He also helped to load an old planer being removed from the wood shop and sort and pack away an assortment of wood shop machine parts located and delivered by the Signal Department. Thanks, Mike.  Patterns Buzz Morisette continued making the new patterns for the steam shop, to be used to cast shoes and wedges for the UP 428. If you look closely you will see vertical surfaces tapered a few degrees from square. This is the DRAFT ANGLE needed to make the sand molds and cast the metal. Tim Peters was toiling on restoration tasks for the CRT 1797 and there was a lot of other activity. Come on out and look around - Watchers Welcome. Maybe we can coax you into helping if you like the smell of sawdust in the morning! |
