In-ko-pah RR -- A couple new things
Posted by Ray Dunakin on Saturday, April 24, 2010 11:18 PM
One of my long-term goals is to build a through truss bridge here: Until I can build the permanent bridge, I decided to put in a temporary bridge that looks better than that old plank: I also finally made some signs for the rock shop:

Sometimes your "temporary elements" (i.e. bridge) look better than some people’s final product. Now for the question. What did you do to make the "nail holes" in the front foundation plank of Sam’s Rock Shop?

The nail holes were made using a tiny drill bit in a pin vise.

I was hoping you had another technique. My fingers hurt too much to that much drilling with a pin vise (arthritis).

I can see how that would be a problem. If I come up with an alternate method I'll let you know.
