2012 at the Hammond Barn

[Bob Carriere]

When Joyce was a manager at Staples they would ...every now and then....throw out racking for more modern ones...... I scavenged a bunch of them.

We needed to take some scrap cut off steel off the floors in corners for room to work and easy access to the odd pieces and bits for future jobs. Wire shelves were nice but needed some bracing with angle iron for holding the weight that we will put on them.

Nice project for the Winter.

Also building a good sturdy box for storing and possibly securely transporting my recently acquired 19 set...... the whole set up moounted on the travel board will fit inside and be a two men carry.

Once that is completed will tackle sheet metal worjon the nose sheet metal fo tha cab 11 which has some nice large rust holes...... will try patches and or repro..... butt welding patches and spot welding will be the process of choice.

Still have to tackle the twisted frame but that will wait until we get milder weather.

Nice to fire up "Lucifer" and be able to work in a 50 to 55 F degrees setting.
