Slatyfork Sawmill Interior
History
Empty sawmills are lonely places. This kit includes all the
machinery and basic details needed to deck out the Slatyfork
Sawmill main floor and sawfiler's area.
Instructions
Read the instructions completely and study the photos and
drawings before starting construction!
Warranty
All R.L.W. products are guaranteed against defects in
manufacturing and will be replaced or repaired as
determined by R.L.W. after inspection of the part. Contact
R.L.W for a return authorization prior to returning any
damaged parts. R.L.W will also replace parts that are
damaged during assembly. This part of the warranty is
voided if the kit has been modified in any way.
Drop Outs
The laser-cut sheets may look like pieces are missing, but
these holes are intentional. These waste pieces, called drop
outs, may still be clinging to the sheet and fall out when
touched. Save them for use as clutter and scraps when doing
the final detailing.
McCabe Lumber Co.
#28301
N Scale
Remove the pieces from the carrier sheets with a sharp
hobby knife as they are needed, and lightly sand off the
remainder of the tabs. On the thicker pieces there is a slight
draft angle caused by the laser. This angle can be removed
with a pass or two of a fine sanding block.
Identify all the parts, checking them against the parts list. Most
wood parts have a number either on them or nearby. Extra
small parts may be included. Do not remove the parts from the
carrier yet!
Repetitive Steps
Every different procedure or method is discussed in detail
in the instructions; however, once it has been discussed, it
is not repeated in detail again.
Dimensions and Directions
All dimensions specified in the text are actual feet and inches
unless used with the word "scale" before or after them.
Atmospheric Conditions
Wood and paper products are effectively live materials on
which humidity and temperature changes will change the
size of parts slightly.
