It was a warm November day for the second work session of the month. Bob continued on the letterboards, routing out grooves for the verticals as well as the overlaps. Craig had made guides for the routers and loaned his routers while he was out of town.
I helped with the routing and drilling as well as tacking the boards up with screws. They are not up permanently at this point, but are being fitted. We numbered them on the inside to replace them correctly. The inner boards on both sides are in place, leaving the four end ones to be done.
Bill was busy treating the new lumber (and some of the old) with linseed oil. Here he is doing the panels between the framing at the end of the car. The new wood in the floor framing was also treated.
It was also a good day for some housecleaning, if there is such a thing. Tom and Bill "took out the trash," and Tom sorted recycle, etc.
Since welding has been put on hold, plans are being made to proceed with wood work in the near term.
