    Why do modellers make the wheels with the holesaw first ?

    Is there some reason for not turning them directly in the lathe ?

    G'Day Peter,
    You've progressed very well from pliers & screwdrivers to become a top toymakers, well done.
    You've put together a good mix of timbers and the finish has come up well.
    Looking forward to the next 3....
    Cheers, crowie

    G'day Greg,
    Some of us don't have a lathe or the room to fit even a mini lathe; holesaws, forstner bits & profile cutters work well.
    I already had a full set of holesaws from work days so I didn't have to buy them.
    Peter's very lucky to have a lathe to detail the holesaw blanks, IMHO.
    Cheers, crowie

    Hi Crowie ... thanx for the info. Its just that I noticed most modellers cut them out with the holesaw first ... I thought there may be a reason.

    No valid reason greg ,I just found it easier for me cutting them out of 19mm thick timber ,as I did not have a wood blank big enough ,so I mounted them on a mandrel mounted in a drill chuck in the head stock of my lathe,one day I will buy myself a good chucking system.
    Peter.

    Looks great, Peter, I love it.
    Nice timber choice, too.
    What are those timbers? The dark stuff looks like Merbau, but very tight-grained if it is.

    Right. Similar colour to Merbau, at least. Was going to suggest Red Cedar as well - glad I kept my mouth shut now. As you can see, I'm not much good at IDing timbers. I just chop the stuff up and use it to make things. I keep it well labelled so I don't screw up on names.

    Love it!!

    John, aka Munruben, is making a version from the same set of plans.

    BTW Henry would not like you at all! Remember what he said about the
    colour of cars?
