Dismantling the Corris van [Van 6] - the body has been lifted off to expose the underframe / chassis. The full length tie-rods and all the ironwork on the headstocks has been taken off, to allow the headstocks themselves to be removed. Source : TR

Sand Art : The British Isles, with some of the iconic wildlife ... Curlew, Oak leaves, Salmon, Beaver. The last of these was functionally extinct, but several re-introduction projects are underway. . Not my Image : fair use & public information

The main structural frame is now glued up and painted to undercoat, although it looks like the roofsticks and cant rails are in cream gloss.

Closer image of one of the repairs to the Oak top arch.

The voids / shakes in this slice of oak tree have been filled with coloured polyester resin. It was then sanded smooth and the surface oiled. Could make a large coffee table ?

Oak and coloured resin "River Table" ... These can be produced to special order.

Almost complete, now fully glazed. Stonework to match the existing cottage. Conservatory / Porch built from solid oak beams, stained and varnished.

This supply of timber will be used in the restoration of two waggons from the Bowes Railway that were almost destroyed in an arson attack by some mindless vandals in 2008. The larger pieces at the front are green oak. and will become the underframes. The four largest sections were 6" x 12" and in two lengths and went to make up the underframe for the Drift Bogie. As green oak was very heavy, we were pleased that the dimensions for the grey waggon were a little smaller. The larger stack at the rear is a durable softwood, Douglas Fir, in a range of sizes for the body planking.

Third of three images showing repairs to a structural upright, methodology is to retain the maximum original material. The inner surface was also in fairly poor condition, again largely from impact damage. As before, a thin layer was machined away and a replacement layer glued in position and trimmed to fit.

The outer surface was in fairly poor condition from largely impact damage, so a thin layer was machined away and a replacement layer glued in position and trimmed to fit. Note: the replica roof stick above has been laminated - greater strength and more economical use of timber - the surface profile will be machined before it is jointed into the cant rail.

One of three images showing repairs to a structural upright, methodology is to retain the maximum original material. Stage one is to replace the tenons or the area holding the mortices ie the joints, using suitable piece of Oak, to match the existing original timber.

Another set of sawdust layers collected by the dust extraction system. Timber species include:- oak, ash, sapele, cherry, douglas fir and iroko.

The replacement inner skin (oak planks) and sapele roof sticks have just been fitted, they will now be varnished.

Dry fit of the majority of the body framework. The laminated roof sticks are not yet cut to length. The darker timber sections are original, the slightly lighter colour is the new oak.

A replacement rudder was made by laminating oak sections, and then cutting out the required shape. This process was used to try to eliminate warping. So far, it has worked!
