Boat Museum Project - Accumulator Doors

The main project I worked on this week at the boat museum was to build two doors for the Accumulator Room.  The accumulator is a large vessel that would store the steam from the steam engine that supplied power to the equipment that was operated  when the museum was a working facility.  


Shown below are the original doors that were badly rotten and below that a photograph of the new doors that were built.





This will likely be the last project I see to completion before returning to the states.  Our next project is scheduled to be the repair of windows on the tour boat.  This project will likely extend beyond my return to the states as there are 8 or 10 windows that will need repairing.
