More Stuff In Production

We are manufacturing a few new products for sale to our customers.  A few display easels and even a toy "Horses?  Dog?  You decide", have made their apearance.

Easels

Is it a Hog or is it a Dorse?  You decide!

Factory Flooded!

The rains came this past Wednesday.  We had rain, wind and hail.  Everything everywhere leaked and so the little factory was flooded.  Today some time was spent trying to dry the place out but, the rains came once again.  Fortunately today's rain was light and so we had no more flooding.  On Wednesdy we had 65mm in twenty minutes.  Now that's scary!  The total rainfall on Wednesday was 75mm.  Unfortunately there was a lot of crop damage and that's worse than a wet factory.  Fortunately we have had some rian as things were getting very dry.  The cycle of Mother Nature!

Soon we'll be back in ptoduction of Owl Nesting Boxes and wagon components.

2012, We're in the future!

To all my friends who visit my blog, may 2012 bring you and yours joy, fun, friendship and laughter.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wagon Sales

Production is looking good!  One wagon has been donated to the Himeville Museum & Historical Society fete raffle on the 17th December.  Himeville is the village next door to Underberg; five kilometres away to be exact.

I am manufacturing components for future wagons and, next year, I should be able to produce plenty of wagons for the holiday seasons.  The entire stock of wagons, 11 of them, has been sold to local people here in Underberg.  Not too bad for a small village.  There is a strong possibility that I'll have agents in Durban and Hillcrest which means a good turnover in wagons and people will be able to buy them in the city bringing a touch of country.

Exciting news!  The full size wagon that I rebuilt, a Merriweather origionally built in Pietermaritzburg, has been sold by the owner who never used it at his resort.  The buyer is a chap from the Central Berg and he does wedding transport for the brides to be with his wagons.  I am so proud that his new wagon will be used for this purpose.  Perhaps we'll see a picture of it in one of our local magazines.

WAGONS HO.........

The Busy Factory

This has been a busy week for me as I have been manufacturing sub-assemblies for the wagons.  Once the material is cut to size, drilled and sanded, it is so easy and quick to assemble the various sub-assemblies.  Just drop the components into the assembly fixture, add drops of glue and drive in the screw with the electric drill fitted with a screw driver attachment.

So progress is being made and I should have enough sub-assemblies to assemble five wagons by the end of next week.

Here's to a dusty but successful week of assembly work.
