Hi All,
Very slow progress on the carriage as I have had to make and fit window jambs for the carriage windows and the door windows. I cut 3mm X 3mm strip wood on the table saw and then fitted these as the jambs.
All the windows are now glazed and at the moment I can remove them from each of the frames. Later, there will be another internal jamb fitted to permanently fit the window into each frame.
I have hug the doors to the frames on both sides of the carriage. This was quite finicky. What I did was to recess the frame for the hinge and fit the hinge. I then opened the hinge partially and put a layer of 5 minute araldite on the hinge and then sat the door in position on the hinge. When dry I drilled the door with a 1mm drill in the hinge position and then screwed the hinge into position. Doing this gave me a 1.5mm clearance on both sides of the door verticals and the door frames.
Merry Christmas to all - if I don't post again before Christmas.
Best Regards
Keith

Hi all,
Hope everyone had an enjoyable day yesterday with family and friends.
I have done a bit more on the carriage.
I have inserted packers above and below each door to give minimal clearance for each of the 6 opening doors.
Have also started on the roofing framework to give me the curved roofing.
Regards
Keith

Hi Everyone,
Hope you all have a safe New Years Eve and a very happy 2019.
I have been working a bit more on the Rocket Carriage. Bowls has gone into a 3 week recess over Christmas.
I am now happy that the carriage is starting to look a bit more like a carriage. I added some extra framing to the curved roof section and have been cladding the inside of the carriage on one side. I can take the whole carriage apart (that is why I am only clamping the walls at this stage). This makes it much easier to work on. I have also clad both side of each of the carriage doors. Again I took the doors off to make it easier to clad them.
I have added my old beer can to give some idea of the size.
Best Regards
Keith

Hi All,
I have been working on the individual compartments of the carriage. I have clad the dividing walls of each compartment. Each compartment will have 6 seats and there is access via a door on each side of the compartment.
The next part of my project will be cladding the external walls of the carriage and also reviewing what material I will be using on the internal walls of the carriage. It will be a silk like material in probably a beige colour.
Regards
Keith

Keith, good to see you are making progress with your carriage. Look forward to when you are selling tickets for the seats - it will be First Class.
The commoners will need to wait for the Third Class open - bring your own cushion.
Wishing you and Cathie a Healthy and Happy New Year.
