For Your Caboose

Clearly your rear end needs a place to stay. So we have made the wood well at least some of the wood to go under our seat springs. So that my wonderful Mother-in-Law can start working on the upholstery. The station wagon has a front bench seat, two jump, seats, and a rear bench seat. This makes it the one with the most seats. (sorry mom in law). Here is a picture of the bottom of the jump seat. For some reason I don't have the pictures of the other ones. They are really just bigger.


So this actually happened awhile ago but I dont think I ever posted about it. So we are going to throw it in for fun. Through this project the router has become our best friend. In fact probably 3/4 of the parts have been routed in some form or another. Those of you who are familiar with routers know that they have cords. We thought it was a good idea to shorten our cord. The only problem was it was running when we tried to shorten it. Can anyone say bad idea? Needless to say the electrical current arching throught the bearings really hasn't done wonders to a relatively new router. See exhibit A...




Yes the green bit in that router is the one that tried to shorten it. You probably can't see it but there are really big chunks taken out of the bit too. So if any of you guys are feeling generous Dads probably gonna need a new router at some point. Keep in mind that we need a router that if we want to shorten our cords with we still can.
