While #53 was the star of today's deliveries to Sheepscot, the cylinder castings for #11 were also delivered.Are we going to lose the deposit on the pallet? Looks like somebody broke one of the slats!

This is a major step up from our old Bridgeport we have in the shop now. There is discussion ongoing as to replacing the Bridgeport with this or keeping both. There are uses for both.Those old round ram “M” head Bridgeports make really stout drill presses!
Today I reassembled the machine and started a full cleaning.
It is a wood planer Keith.
Spring Work Weekend Day 1 - April 29:I must have missed the announcement, what is the story on the new (to us) planer? Is it a wood working planer or a metal planer?
* Planer shed - Brendan was supervising construction of a shed to house a new (to us) planer.
Anticipated work for Tuesday and Wednesday 19-20 April 2022

I hope you were wearing gloves……in my experience cats don’t take kindly to being placed in a sack!
For anyone who knows.. please don’t let the cat out of the bag yet.
We’re working on an announcement…
Thanks all,
Jason
Guess it will be hidden behind the shake finish, so these photos are the documentation of how and what went in to the construction. Looking great!Will the engine house be sided in shingles or shakes? There is a difference. Shakes are split off where shingles are sawn smooth on both sides and tapered.
