Several members came in during the week of February 23 through the 29th to get the flat car "ready for the road." Well, "ready" is somewhat of a goal -- who knows how far we will get!
"C.W." is mortising the end beams to accept the tenons on the stringers.
The finished end beam. Count 'em: that is 12 mortises on EACH end beam. 
Jesse V. is checking the fit of a queen post being fastened to the needle beam.
Griffin W. is cutting an end beam to size.
Dustin finishes the cut; Griffin's circular saw didn't quite make it all the way through the beam.
Jesse V. using a router to cut the ledge along the inner edge of the end beam. One of the deck boards will rest on the ledge.
