Side walls are complete including interior paint. End walls are in progress.
One more wall interior to paint and then I work on the floor. I have a great idea for the floor so stay tuned …
Assembly begins.
Metal recycling warehouse owned by F.E. Orr & Sons is coming along. Wall are up and working on flooring today.
The fence for my vintage mitre saw works beautifully. Cutting birch logs from my property in Victoria Harbour very thin with a constant thickness for all planks. Another old school solution!
Argh! for some reason the latest photos are not coming though on the iPad. It is an iPad problem. If I mess around with it they will eventually show up.
Years ago on a previous house that was built in 1956, during a remodel I did I salvaged some 2x4s with the tighest grain pattern I have ever seen. I used that wood to make crossties for my layout (Lionel 031 tinplate track) - cut to the same dimensions as the metal ties and stained black to match. Came out great!
Same thing happens on my iPad. Very frustrating!
I have made HO scale ties with my birch but it was not easy cutting this thin until I got this mitre saw. The sheer weight of the saw is very helpful.
Starting the inside timber truss design using birch from my property and zinc metal joints.
Lots of Victoria Harbour birch cut at the mill today. Timber trusses being installed.
Scratch - that pile of O scale lumber is pretty cool looking!
Thanks Roy. Using it to make shipping crates that sit on my flatcar for the fuel tanks as well. With the old mitre saw it is easy to make as much lumber as I need for any project.
