Wednesday 21st – Glad to be indoors

The title says it all, when is this rain going to stop?

So lets start with a smile, Eve is modelling one of the new shopping bags being created by the upholstery team.

                                              

.

Meanwhile in the workshop, the gas axe is removing some redundant brackets to make way for the new battery mounting frame.

Rex is creating the battery mounting frame, it will be tack welded, checked and then fully welded.

With Phil’s guidance we are checking whether blanking plates are needed under the original vents in the kitchen of 1675……..
We will see and if necessary they can be added later.

The original vents will remain for authenticity. One of them is already used for the modern extractor.

Still with 1675, there is much to do. Simon and Phil are discussing the finer points of panelling.

Underneath Bob is fitting 2 retaining brackets to the generator, this will be followed with discussions about weather protection.

Geoff looks deep in thought with measurements .

Ben is making door lock parts, for a winter maintenance job. I did see him later working with the lathe.

13326, Steve is fixing into position the lower hinge, this door has been quite a challenge ……

He then proceeded to trim the lower panel to the correct height , we leave as much material as possible until we get to this stage.

….. And finally Ken continues in preparing parts for the corridor connectors, he has given us a list of jobs to do, consisting of welding captive nuts in place before wood panelling goes on.
Gerry was way ahead of me with photos as usual, for which we thank him profusely.
