Ten Tips for Working with Precision Board

Inn progress
Back in the middle of April I hinted at a project our family was going to undertake – a little inn. Peter and Hailey (son and daughter in law) purchased the property next door to us and now are going through the zoning process to make the project possible. This means we have been busy doing up the concept plans.
Leverage
Now that the little trail truck is running and the bulk of the big fabricating is behind us it is time to begin all of the fun small stuff. I’m currently working on the levers which will control the functions of the vehicle. The Johnson bar which is bolted to the running board controls the forward and reverse of the variable speed hydrostatic transmission.

IAAPA trade show display progress
Work continues on our trade show booth for the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions EXPO in Orlando, Florida. As I posted previously we decided to rebuild our booth which we created last year. We first stripped down last year’s effort and cut off all of the structure we no longer needed. Since this year’s space is to be twenty feet wide instead of only ten we added two five foot wings to the sides of the booth.
Progress on Dayna’s tree
Since the last post on the progress of Dayna’s tree we’ve made great progress. The top portion of the structure was completed and the galvanized lath applied. A few small details were added at the request of the family like a small fairy door, tucked into the roots. We then did the sculpted concrete which was done over a period of three days.
Back to the shop
I’ve been busy on weekends and an hour or two on weeknights working on my personal project – the little rail truck. Last week it was at long last ready for a test drive. I called Phoebe, my grand daughter, who has been waiting twelve long years for a test drive. The throttle was still jury rigged, the drive train chain was not yet tightened, and a few other things yet to be done but I was confident the little rig would power it’s way down the track without difficulty. I jumped into the cab and Phoebe into the sidecar. The vehicle was stable – despite Phoebe now being almost adult size and weight
