Working On It - Carpenter

[@thisisbob1001]

Great to see the carpentry skills used in railways

Never feel weird about calling your Dad "Dad". There will come a time when you sorely wish you could still do just that...

[@davidclarke8537]

Your so right,wish my dad was still here

[@Beatlefan67]

@@davidclarke8537 Yes me too! My dad died on my 32nd birthday...

[@SueDixon-e9v]

Always a pleasure watching these films!

Great stuff. If you have some 'bits' left over, they can be used to generate income. In a few minutes, one can make a boot-pulling plate to go outside the front door - they sell at the local car-boot sale for a fiver, and frankly, they are pretty poor - I'm sure you could do better, for more money. I've just come back from a fab day behind 53808 at the MHR today - took my 14-year-old Grandson Ivo (yes, he really is Ivo) and he had a footplate ride on the loco as well. I can't tell you how happy it made him - and me too. As for working with your Dad; I was feeling a bit emotional watching you both because my dad and I had fun making stuff with him teaching me. He passed on my 32nd birthday... (I'm now 70)

Great video both of you, nothing like a bit of father and son bonding 😊😂

We cut the original trunks on the racksaw shown, driven by Burrell 3935 “Surprise” built in 1922. Honoured to have been part of the process

[@Beatlefan67]

Wonderful to see - well done you and the team.

[@davidclarke8537]

Great Video will ,always great working with your dad.

[@petermarchbank7739]

[@thomasm1964]

Worryingly, I rather forgot that your instructor is called "Simon". To me, he will now forever be "Dad"!

Great Episode

[@steamdaysstoker]

Throughout my working life I, We were always told never wear gloves when using wood working machines!

[@njhffc1]

“A chip off the old block” eh? 😊

[@michaelbradley3372]

Great video, fantastic workshop facilities. Shouldn't wear gloves when working these machines though, greatly magnifies the risk of hand entrapment. From a machine woodworker of 40 years experience.
