Table Saw Fence

We are hoping to restore another table saw for use in the wood shop as it provides some features we do not have on saws now in service.  Henry Vincent is patiently working away on that, here a very complicated design for the fence.

Lots of Parts

You maybe able to appreciate just how many moving pieces are in this ONE assembly

From the Other End

Many of the parts are rusted and some frozen in place so it is not so simple as you might expect.  So far, only one threaded fastener seems stubborn to the point where it might have be drilled out.

Wagon Top

It alternated between cloudy and not so much all day but there was no rain.  For some reason it was hard to get good pics, but we all  remarked how beautiful the north side of the B&O boxcar was now that it is ALL in the finish enamel paint.

Roger Kramer was on site and was painting Illinois Central 3345, a Grill-Coach built in 1948.  I was leaving at the end of the day but Jim Leonard volunteered to grab a pic of this work.  Sorry, it did not come out.  Pete Galayda and John Nelligan continued on rebuilding grid boxes for Charles City Western 300; and Gerry Dettloff and John Faulhaber labored on the TM work equipment.
