Of course this is in the wood shop but Buzz Morisette has been working on a B&G project helping to make specialized wood trim and finish work for our O Mahoney Diner.
Henry Vincent continues to be our 'go to' guy in the wood shop area for almost any project that needs doing. Here he has cut into the compressed air header in the old shop and is adding and extending the line toward the new shop extension. Is there anything he cannot do or is not willing to do?
Not the kind of profile work now being done by Homeland Security, but instead adding a roundover profile to stiles and rails for the eleven new windows we are doing for the IC 3996 diner. Simon Harrison inspects the last cut while behind him, new volunteer Lorne Tweed gets the next piece ready.
There was a good turnout yesterday and here are some of the folks working on the window project. Simon Harrison, Lorne Tweed, John Faulhaber, Richard Witt, and Roger Kramer. Never use two guys when five are available. In summary, some of the pre cut parts were ripped to final dimension, all planed to final thickness, the roundover routed, and a rabbet cut in those pieces. Over 175 operations in total today to move this project forward. Not bad for a Wednesday in winter!
Here is an image form Roger Kramer showing the crew that was working on the new windows. Rich, Simon, Lorne, John and myself. Those guys look like they are having way too much fun.
We would also like to welcome back John Nelligan following recent cataract surgery. He looks good and is looking good.

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?
