Popular Post Retired Scroller Posted March 18, 2022 Popular Post Report Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) A lot of detail work, assembly and finish but finally completed the largest project I have ever done. Walnut and maple of various thickness, 1/8" to 3/8". The curved end panels ended up being a 1/32" wood used for craft projects. It's the only thickness that would make the bend of about 30 degrees. Had to stack cut with 1/8" ply and a #2 blade at low speed. IMG_.HEICIMG_1085.HEIC Edited March 18, 2022 by Retired Scroller Add Pics Eric67, RabidAlien, Charlie E and 20 others 21 2 Quote

heppnerguy Posted March 19, 2022 Report Posted March 19, 2022 no wonder it took awhile to make. It is filled with a lot of detail. You will get a lot of oohs and awes when people see this one displayed in your house. Really nicely done. Dick heppnerguy Retired Scroller 1 Quote

merlin Posted March 20, 2022 Report Posted March 20, 2022 Now that is just gorgeous...I have a pattern looks the same as this but no measurements, it goes by the name "Ancient Royal Wagon". Could you tell me the size of the large wheel please so I can see if its the same or even increase the size. Clutching at straws here, only time I have seen this and I have know way of telling the size of any of it... Cheers.... Retired Scroller 1 Quote

Retired Scroller Posted March 22, 2022 Author Report Posted March 22, 2022 Replying to Merlin’s question: The rear wheel diameter is 8 3/4 inches. Actually, I reduced the patterns to 70% of original due to thin wood sizes available. It made detail cuts a little harder though. The overall coach dimensions are 25”L X 25” H X 10.5” W. Quote

How many Hours and days did you spend to make this Magnificent Treasure? I started late Spring of ‘21 and just finished. I take breaks for periods of time for other interests. When I do cutting it may be for 1 to 3 hours each time. The detail work takes so much focus and slow speed cutting I get eye strain sometimes. Greatgrandpawrichard 1 Quote
