Carriage update

Work begins on cleaning up another new window bottom template


Clamped in place to mark out the rotten section for cutting

After cutting out the rotten piece the bodywork bulged out at the bottom of the cut, so it was lightly clamped to the metal frame stanchion and tack welded at the back to hold it in place

New piece tack welded in

Welded in

Jean carrying on with varnishing wood pieces from the carriage's compartments

More rotten framework discovered in the guard's compartment

Michael cutting out the end piece

Cut out

The bottom brackets that the frame stanchions are welded too are rotten and require replacing

Starting to clean up after more grinding and cutting 

Four new brackets cut to size on the donkey saw being cleaned up

Cleaned up, ready for having a corner cut out and welding in place
