February 2026 Work Weekend

Hi All,

This Saturday, February 14, is not only Valentine's Day, it is also a Work Weekend at Larson Welding.

Does anyone know what projects are being worked on?

Will festivities start about 8am?

I hope to see a bunch of Rollag Friends there. Being it is Valentine's Day, bring your sweetheart along.

Looking forward to it.

Hi all,

A few pictures of the Valentine's Day Work Weekend. The tender for the Ortner train got some attention. Work was done on the show's Bobcat and mini-excavator. Work was done on the pump that fills the Dust Buster.

Bushing are being pressed into parts of the mini-excavator.




The pump that fills the Dust Buster.


Ray coaching Mason on some project.



I think Ray spent time working on a small train car. I had to leave before noon so I can't comment on progress on the projects.
More to come.

Hi again all,

Some more pictures.




Peter taught Kenneth some new ways to operate a turning lathe.




The Bobcat got a new seat. Other work was done on it in prior Work Weekends.


Ned working on the Ortner tender.


Bushing replacement on the mini-excavator.


Who knows what these two were doing.



He told me what he was brazing, I forgot what the piece is for.
