Somewhat short on photos this week….attendees were busy!

Bob, Hanna, Alden, and Paul made some good progress on the cab. A fair number of holes were drilled for marrying the upper rear walls to the original cab. Old existing rivet holes that had substantial wasting were first welded up and ground smooth. This allowed properly sized new holes to be made where needed. This joint is reenforced by a 3” backing strap that ties in up to the roofline. Holes were drilled with a mag drill that required a temporary steel base spanning the window opening to be clamped up. Hanna and Alden jigged and drilled all the needed holes that had been laid out.

With Paul's arrival we shifted over to riveting. About 25 rivets were driven.

Hanna and Alden both had their first experiences running the plasma cutter on some 1/4” steel plate. Both found it pretty interesting and did well. Lots of sparks!
