Monday, June 9. 2008Woodshop Update June 7-8, 2008June 7, 2008  How do you hold these parts? John Faulhaber is putting the finishing touches on a wood jig to hold pieces together in alignment for welding. These pieces were fabricated this week as part of the work to expand our woodshop capabilities by restoring a circa 1883 molding machine, back to operation. These brackets will mount and hold a necessary countershaft.  New Machine and countershaft base The above referenced machine will be mounted with motor and countershaft on a unitized base. Victor Humphreys is centerpunching holes following a cardboard template of the machine base. June 8, 2008  SPC guys- euww! The passenger department guys were back in the shop, hiding from the rain and enjoying the air conditioning. Wayne Baksic and Mike Baksic were making 5 new step boxes for improving the safety of visitor access to some of our cars. Monday, June 9. 2008New Power for Yard 5 Displays June 8, 2008I am making this entry for the AC/DC line department to get the blog active for that department. New cars have been placed in Yard 5 to upgrade our visitor experience. Here we see Department Head Max Tyms working to set a new pole on the north side of that yard, as part of a project to upgrade AC power in that area.
