    Default Dump trailer

    I started work on a dump trailer today.
    Thought i would try a build thread.
    It will be made out of cherry. So far all i used is leftovers from prior builds.

    Did not get much done this weekend.
    Worked on the fenders.
    The plans are kind of confusing. They are in french and english.
    While i was trying to figure things out i started work on a fire truck.

    Got some of the box done today.
    Got the cylinder cover done.
    Cutting compound miters is a pain.
    Trying to glue the angle sides of the box to the bottom took a little figuring.
    This is how i did it. If anyone knows a different way i would like to hear it.
    I also test fit all the pieces i made before. Looks like everything will work right.

    This is the way I've done it, made a jig to hold parts together for the bottom parts and then the upper parts

    G'Day & Welcome to a top forum "Studeag"....

    Also please, if this is an example of your craftsmanship, PLEASE show off your other work too, thank you.
