Bob Olsen is sanding and removing old paint from second exterior vestibule door from the Mt Harvard.
Here are just some of the frames already fitted and glued ready for sanding.

Heres the mortising machine in action. This is a very valuable piece in the museums woodshop. Without it many, many projects would not have been made here in the wood shop.
It took me a couple of days to drill 60 holes. Very tedious work!
Here Im sitting at the machine drilling square holes to accept the tendon portion of the window .
After cutting the wood pieces to conform to the drawings I am going to use the museums mortising drill to cut holes in the long 2 inch wide wood pieces.
I also removed some of the window sill in the obs end of the sleeper. I removed the old stain then sanded, restained and applied three coats of spar varnish onto each piece.
