Wood Shop Update - February 29, 2011

I suppose you will not see this much progress in the wood shop on this date for four more years (lame joke dept).

Windows

Victor Humphreys and John Faulhaber are squaring up and clamping two more windows for Illinois Central 3996. Earlier, John went through the painstaking fitting of the last sash needed for this 'order' and then proceeded to glue up two more.

Patchwork

Buzz Morisette continues on restoration of an interior door for our Illinois Terminal electric equipment. He is skillfully fitting a patch to one stile to replace rotted sections and then will add the bottom rail before gluing everything in place.

HMMM

Victor Humphreys and Tim Peters are studying the schematics in an effort to complete work to use our large 20 inch tablesaw. A lot of effort has gone into this and it is needed now to saw large salvaged timbers destined for the CRT 1797 project.

There was of course other work on site today. A crew was working to resolve electrical problems out in the Barns where our Milwaukee Electric dump motor D 13 lives, while in the shop we completed a new fireman's side window for N&W 2050, and made progress on a second similar window for the engineer's side of the cab.

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?
