Wood Shop

Welders

John Faulhaber takes a try at welding under the watchful eye of Wayne Baksic.  The angle iron frame for belt gurads is taking shape nicely.

Another Seat Frame

Department Head Mike Baksic supervises while Shelly Vanderschaegen restore the third in a series of seat frames for the Santa Fe combine.

As has been the custom in recent years, the Barn 4 shop crews enoyed a Holiday Luncheon, this time in the Wood Shop, held promptly at Noon, December 17.  It was "POT LUCK" with many good dishes volunteered - there was not a dud among them!

Anyone working at IRM on Wednesdays was welcome.  This year we saw members of the Electric Car Department, the Woodshop Crew, Freight Car Department, Buildings and Grounds, The Pullman Library, The Strahorn Library, the Passenger Car Department, the Line Department, and the OFFICE STAFF.  As you can see, there was quite a crowd.  Line forms to the left!

Party Time

And here is another shot from Dan Fenlaciki - no one seems bashful about digging in!

Cleaning the Saw

John Baletto was back out this weekend and here he is hard at work cleaning up the new (to us) American Table Saw.  This will significantly expand our woodshop capabilities and we hope to have it up and running in a few months.
