    I've been working a few small projects lately, tonight I had a package waiting for me when I got home.

    For those of you who use an uncoupler pic, are you tired of trying to see in between those closely coupled cars?

    Here's a pair of Bluford Woodchip hoppers I just finished up this week. I think they're a total foob as I couldn't find any pictures of one anywhere.
    Painted with True Color ICG Orange. The Split Rail logo, the ACI & COTS plates and the Wheel Inspection Dot were Microscale decals, the rest I printed on an inkjet printer.

    The Black IC hopper is a stock Bluford car.
    Here's the blog post.

    Well I finally got back to working on my cabinets after a few months break. I've been waiting to get some time on the router but we've been so busy we just didn't have time to spare.
    My buddy with the CNC router gave up some of his Thursday and Friday so that we could get my material cut out and I could my cabinet boxes assembled over the long holiday weekend. I'm on a roll again, so the trains will have to wait again.

    It took about 2 hours to get the parts all routed out on the CNC yesterday.
    This morning at 9am I started boxing them up, by lunch I had 6 of the 8 cabinets assembled.

    After lunch and by 5pm I had the last two boxed.

    If things go as planned, I should have them stained and ready spray the finish on them Monday night!

    Here's the link for the last two posts.
    At the bottom of the first post there is a link to the next post.

    Yup.
    The ones I started working back around the first of the year.
    I have all the doors, drawers and drawer fronts done. Been waiting to find time to get caught up with paying projects so I could get time on the router.

    Hey George, that is the difference between a hobby woodworker and a professional cabinet shop. :p

    BTW your cabinets are looking very nice, Allen.

    As there are probably multiple projects ongoing, at the same time, they would need an abundant supply of clamps.

    Very impressive work and facility. :cool: It does seem like a lot of clamps to hold a few brackets on that wall, though. :whistle:
