Woodworking 9-17-2011

Craig has been busy repairing framing and making other pieces.

Earlier photos of the west end of the car as it now is oriented show a cut-out to the right of the door in the photo on the left taken in November 2009.  It appears as a darker vertical area to the right of the door.  We assume it was done to accomodate moving a large object into or out of the car, e.g. a stove, etc.  The framing in this region had been cut and partially repaired, so it was totally removed as in the photo on the right above, taken in April of this year.

We now have new framing around this part of the west door which appears as lighter wood in the photos.  On the left above is a view from the outside of the car and on the right from the inside.



Window trim and sills have been made as in the photos above.  Craig has been busy in his shop milling, mortising and notching to make everything fit as it was.
