    Smile Making treads for the bull dozer

    Figured I better build the treads so I can be sure everything lined up.

    Dalboy I'm big on jigs to make thing come out right and once the jig is made the next project gets done that much quicker and much more accurate.

    Put in some hours but it's starting to come together.
    Needed to put it together so I'd know how many treads were needed.

    Blade and Scarifier? Some sort of tow hitch perhaps as well?

    Looking good.

    Played with getting the engine in place.
    It's done with scraps on hand as is the whole project come to think of it..
    Always try to add some extras that don't come on the plans, helps keep the creative juices flowing.

    There’s some very interesting table saw set ups to get this done.
    You may have noticed two different woods being used but half way through I saw That I wanted walnut tips so cut out the maple and then glued on so walnut.
    I don’t back up very often but knew this would look ten times nicer. [I don’t have much walnut]
    I take just a half turn of the height adjustment at a time and even less on the last pass going very slowly to cut down on saw marks, that will needed to be sanded out.

    The bottom plywood is the base of my wheel making jig, so there’s table saw runners under that ply to help keep it from moving.
    Just one clamp holds it in place.









    I think this just may work.
    It’s a tad deeper than the plans call for.

    I used to build my cabinet projects with this same table saw setups.


    So here’s what’s done so far.
    Man that’s one wide blade, may need to shorten it a little.
