Tiebar Claw Drilling Process.
Turnout blade No.2 tiebar(gauging) being drilled for riveting after the opposite side claw was riveted on.
No.1 head tiebar was done previously.
It would have been expeditious to have done one claw first then adjusted to gauge and tack welded in place to ensure accurate drilling, after riveting then the welds could have been removed.
I love learning new ways to do things, then think of a better way to do the next; not exactly a useful trait when making only one-off items.
