Hard shell and rock carving

Gerry Fitzgerald stopped by for a work session on the afternoon of New Years Eve.  He worked on fixing some loose scenery by Potomac Creek siding as well as spiking some more rail. I worked on adding hard shell and rock carvings.

We decided that the rock carving process was interesting and worth making into a video tutorial. You can see the 12 minute movie below.
