    its coming along great by the way.


    In this case I used card from cereal packets and only draw around them but if I use anything thinner I would use photographic spray adhesive after applying masking tape the tape is easier to remove and leaves no glue in the grain. You could use pva but with paper it can distort when applying.

    The small pieces of tape you see on parts is only masking tape with the name of the part on it for easy recognition as I did cut out so many in one go

    Today I cut the mortices in the front support on the front axle assembly and also drill the hounds at the far end as well as the slider bar this will aid in marking out the tenons on the hounds as they are all different. You will notice in the first picture that one of the hounds does not line up with the drawing this is where I found the measurements out. Also notice I have numbered the hounds, as well as the Splinter bar as all the angles, are either different or mirror images of each other This is all that I managed as did not feel too good and came in for a rest.

    And further to this I take it you use a scroll saw for the finer more intricate pieces?

    No I have a bandsaw which I have fitted a 1/4" blade this is one of my main workhorses of the workshop. For very small pieces I do have a scroll saw but this project was all cut on the bandsaw

    Not done much the past few days but managed to get the tenons done on the end of the Hounds

    DSCF9962 (800x600).jpgDSCF9964 (800x600).jpg

    followed by some marking out.


    DSCF9965 (800x600).jpg

    Drilled a hole for the dropper pin and found a piece of brass bar which will become the pin

    DSCF9966 (800x600).jpg

    In this picture you can see a Hound shutter laying across where it will be fitted. I need to cut through mortice on each of the hounds which need to line up so it can pass all the way through

    Fiddly work Keith as the mortices and tenons are only 1/16" thick. Plenty of filework. The next job is to put notches into the hounds where I have marked as well as the through mortices.

    Trying to get some shed time between doing the garden, which seems to take 5 times as long as it use to.

    Anyway started the through mortices for hound shutter this was the first of four that needed cutting.

    DSCF9972 (800x600).jpg

    Two done with the hound shutter in place

    DSCF9973 (800x600).jpg

    Next up after completing all the mortices was to cut out for the front axle.

    DSCF9974 (800x600).jpg

    The next job was the cut outs for the guide bolster and also for the slider bar. With those done I did a quick dry assembly of the parts. There are still more cut outs to do on this assembly.

    These last three photos show the assembly the correct way up as I have been working on it upside down

    Cut some half lap joints in the hounds and slider bar followd by the first glue up of this sub assembly. The second photo gives an idea of the size of the joints

    DSCF9984 (800x600).jpgDSCF9986 (800x600).jpgDSCF9987 (800x600).jpg

    All dry and what it looks like

    DSCF9988 (800x600).jpg


    Hound shutter now glued

    DSCF9989 (600x800).jpg

    And the splinter bar glued

    DSCF9992 (800x600).jpgDSCF9990 (590x800).jpg

    Next job will be to the parts on he right to have cut outs to fit onto the assembly and the base of the main cart frome

    DSCF9994 (800x600).jpg

    This is where I am at as of today

    DSCF9993 (800x600).jpg

    This is one of the reasons for slow progress it needs to be ready for Saturdays monthly club competition.

    Sorry for delays in any work on this waggon. I have had to stop work on it for a while as I am making a jig for my router to use on the lathe in preporation for the club competition next month. As well as also having to stop all work for a couple of days due to a 2:00am ride in an ambulance and the wife banned me from the workshop for a couple of days. My heart decided to have a race to see how fast it could beat.
    Hopefully another week should see the jig complete nd work comencing on the wagon
