Wood Shop Update - March 24, 2010

I am hoping for some images to come in shortly, to tell more of this story, but thought I would at least post a quick entry as I take a break from other work this AM.

Battens

We had a sizable crew yesterday and proceeded to continue on the new battens for the depot project. By day's end we had sawn and planed 1100 (ELEVEN HUNDRED) more feet of blanks to be milled into battens. The stack of completed strips was piled high! We had the shop set up as a sort of factory production line and here you see Rich Witt, Victor Humphreys, Henry Vincent, and John Faulhaber processing the fourteen foot long pieces. I am behind the camera.

The Line

Another view of Victor, Rich, Henry and John ready to go. Pete Galayda and I also pitched in for a crew of six. The extra hands made the work much faster and more productive.
