Monday, July 23. 2012CGW X 38 Update - July 21, 2012Work continues on the snow plow restoration, lately working to replace wood framing and timbers inside the car body. This allows some relief from the withering heat, as the woodworking is done inside the shop.  Lintel John Faulhaber is working on the table saw with our sled jig to hog out material and result in new tenons on each end of this timber. It is a lintel, for the right hand doorway on the plow, the horizontal piece that helps frame the opening.  Door Frame With the lintel done, Buzz Morisette, John, and myself did a dry fit of all the parts on the workbench. This is an assembly that has to be put together first before installing in the car. Of course it fit perfectly (after two or three trips back and forth to trim up shoulders, etc). Henry Vincent helped start the boring process for the ten holes to mount it. |

Ah yes, I have made such Jibs myself. If it were me, I would add in each corner an angled piece from the base to the Jib to act as sway bracing. [...]
