Popular Post redwine Posted June 3, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) This is a project I started back in March just after this virus situation hit us and all of the craft shows upcoming was cancelled. I didn't thank I would be this long in completing it but I did take my time as there wasn't any rush. There was a lot of items that required the use of a lathe and a band saw, both of which i do not have so a little bit of working around some of those problems took some time! The tires was one of the items requiring a lathe but the scroll saw took care of that, the only thing that I couldn't do was a lighter small ring of wood that simulates the rim was to be cut and inlaid where the "lug" nuts are. It could also be painted while the wheel was still on the lathe. As you see the "rim" is black. There was a few other things that was over come by using the tools I had on hand! All of the wood that is painted either pine, ceder fencing, or poplar. All comments welcome. Erv Edited June 3, 2020 by redwine misspelling John B, Sam777, FDPiper and 16 others 18 1 Quote
trackman Posted June 3, 2020 Report Posted June 3, 2020 That is great! See many small parts outstanding job. When I did my steam Locomotive I used a circle cuter from HF. Don’t know if that is something you could have used. But I don’t think you are missing anything by not doing the inlay. FDPiper and amazingkevin 2 Quote

I never thought about that tool, it would have helped immensely! Thanks for the info and the kind comment! Erv Quote

That roof is supposed to be a one piece of walnut, that I used, about 6 inch wide, 1/2 inch thick and to be cut using a bandsaw. I cut enough sections, 1/2 wide, 8 inchs long and cut them to 1/8 inch thick and glued them up and did some sanding to archive the curve. Even the plans says that cutting this curve using a bandsaw is a trying thing to do! Erv 10 hours ago, dgman said: Great project Erv! How did you deal with the curved roof? dgman 1 Quote
