Monday, January 5. 2009ME 28 Update January 3-4, 2008 Mortising Victor Humphreys is setting up the mortiser to cut a slot for a tenon. The piece on the table is a mid rail for new baggage doors.  Baggage Door Progress Norm Krentel and Ray Schmid have one of the long door stiles on the mortiser. You can see the fancy molding work in cross section on the end, and some of the slots completed near the end.  Teaching Time Ray Schmid and Norm Krentel doing a once over on the completed stile before removing it from the set up on the mortiser.  Trimming Bob Kutella (thanks for snapping a pic, Kirk) trimming one of the stiles for the glass opening using our table mounted router.  Measure Twice Bob Kutella measuring and marking for routing the next piece for new baggage doors. In the background you can see some of the 24 major pieces in process, needed to assemble just two doors. Monday, January 5. 2009Wood Shop Update January 3, 2009 Welders Wayne Baksic and John Faulhaber put finishing touches on the new frame for guarding belts on the Fay Molder. Here the frame has been removed and is upside down to get at some of the hard to reach places.  Surprise! This is Tim Peters using a walker, following a serious accident a month ago splintering his left leg and requiring surgical repair. You cannot keep a good volunteer down! Seen here, he is back at work on CRT 1268, cleaning up after sanding a window frame and a door on the bench below that. |

7009 number boards look good. Is there a way to turn a locomotive around at IRM? In case you ever had a mind to connect 7009 and 6847?
