The wagon factory, such as it is, has had an upgrade today. I have built an assembly fixture for assembling the platforms of the wagons. This makes things so much easier and more accurate. I should be able to borrow a thicknessing machine this coming week and so production should increase. So that's two assembly fixtures. More are on the drawing board to help ease production. It takes so much time to sand each plank down to size and the sizes are not always met closely. The machine will produce consistant sizes and therefore ease things a bit.
I need to increase the wheel glueing setup to produce more that one wheel a day. Now this is a slow process, but should improve with more clamping equipment.
Meantime the sawdust pile increases as production goes on. Wagon number 5 is now under construction and soon to be finished.
Maybe I can produce two wagons a week and with more equipment increase to three or four. Hold thumbs and think f the kids who need wagons.
