Wednesday 29th - All hands to the pump

 With a number of jobs to do, we quickly decided who was doing what. Like yesterday many hands went over to the 'Queen Mary'.

The most time consuming was deciding how to replicate the four lamp brackets, bearing in mind we need 2 left hand and 2 right hand. They have to look authentic, so 3 of us started heating and bending metal, look out for next week's blog which should show the finished product.

Meanwhile Alex was applying paint to the inner parts of the 'Queen Mary'.

Something a bit different, its time for the annual PAT testing of everything electrical.

With our new bench arrangement, there is that bit more space for everyone. I should have asked Ken what he was doing.

Phil is making some small trolleys for manoeuvring doors inside the carriages, I thought they were roller skates.

 Due to a mechanical failure with the carpenters mitre saw, it was time for a new one. Richard is marking out the fixing points.

Geoff is concentrating, so I did not disturb him.

Gerry is cleaning parts for the 'Queen Mary, he seems to like working in the Barn .... maybe not so when the temperature drops.

John V is making a frame for storing used lubricants in the former oil barrel trolley. This will prevent any spillage onto the floor.

Jenny is cleaning up their work area in the upholstery shop.
