Wood Shop

Roof Eave

We will start this entry with Tim Peters making what I would call the upper roof eave or edge for CRT 1797.  This started out a week ago or so as some of the century old timber we salvaged from the Huntley Feed mill.

Planing

Yes, all you readers here will have seen pictures of our planer making wood chips.  But here is one for a new project.  Lorne Tweed ran 16 pieces through multiple passes to exactly 'nail' the thickness for new window frames for the GLEN SPRINGS.

More Brass

Victor Humphreys continued to help out on polishing brass parts for the Sand Springs 68.  In his hands are one 'before' and one 'after'.

A Closer Look

Drat, a fuzzy image!  But maybe you can still appreciate the mirror-like finish after some tedious work with compound and a buffing wheel.  He completed five window lifts, and we coated them with clear lacquer.  For the benefit of the 68, you should all hope for continued cold and rainy weather - it makes a good shop project.

The next step for the station door involved machining and gluing up stock for the last two panels for this new door.  We managed that, and some shop maintenance work as well.
