This project is for a local Breakfast & lunch restaurant that has a train theme, Glen Junction family restaurant in Glen New Hampshire (if you look on there web site you will see the piece that this new train facade is replacing.)
Every project has to start with a concept. I create these in Google sketchup ( a 3d modeling program that is very capable of creating concepts that I can share with the client.)
Then if all is approved the fun begins. "Parts Is Parts".
After quiet a bit of time designing , engineering, and allot of "how am I going to do this" kind of stuff, we are ready to send the files to the Multicam cnc router.

The above pictures from top left,
- while the router is hard at work I'm busy fabricating a structural steel frame.
- as you can see the smoke stack sections are made up of multiple layers.
- I was able to route in drilled holes for aligning the parts as I glued them together simplifying the assembly process.
- and finally some of the details of the front boiler face.
Gluing, shaping, sanding, fitting then a test run to make sure all will go together smoothly on installation day.
The awning was part of the original facade that has been removed from the building.

Then after disassembling, it's back in the shop for some color and all the other details that will bring the hole project together.
Keep an eye out for the after install pictures to see the finished project.
