I should probably not have gone out to the Wood Shop yesterday considering physical condition, but I wanted to clean up year end paperwork and bills. While out there, here is some of the work I saw being done.
Buzz Morisette pitched in with some public service work, doing repairs on the vintage large bandsaw work light. It is a rare item from FOSTORIA Lamp Company and the switch and socket finally gave up the ghost. Buzz proceeded with a creative solution modifying currently available parts to get it back in working order.
Work was completed on two new large window frames for the B&M 1094. They will be turned over to the project people on that for finishing, glazing, and installing.
Roger Kramer was out with some parts for two new windows the the VILLA FALLS. By end of day we had laid out and plunged eight new mortises on the stiles.
Thanks again to all who worked so hard to make 2010 a success and a very productive year in the wood shop. So long for a while.

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?
