Smokebox brace beveled with strongback plates tacked on.

Smokebox braces repaired

Wednesday, December 19, 2018 by mc

Here is one of the smoke box braces with the strong backs welded in place. The v-shaped notches will be filled with layers of weld and then the strong backs will be removed before grinding the weld to finished shape. It will then be good as new!
