Jim worked on cleaning up the saw this morning. Obviously, parts aren't available for this old of a tool, so he has to be creative. He bought a package of shower door rollers to replace the rollers underneath the turntable - it works much better now!
He's coming up with a table and guide to use for making the straight cuts on the steel to make sure everything is as precise a cut as possible...
Using the brake to bend the next section of hip trim...
He got the bottom flashing for the front hip done - it's even riveted in place...
Next design challenge - coming up with flashing for the very top where the hips meet the ridge...
Then riveting the back flashing in place...
Putting the Z-flashing on the top...
Perfect! After this, he pushed both hip trim pieces up to the top.
That side done, time to move to the other side, which required a little scaffolding work...
Using the hip trim to mark locations of the flashing...
Cutting flashing pieces...
Starting to attach Z-flashing...
End-of-the-day picture - just two more small pieces to go!
