    Great to see it's warm enough for you to be back in the shed Bruce.

    And WOW what a top project you've chosen to challenge yourself with ...

    Do you have Dutchy's website for the plans for other folk to also see the beaut array of his plans.

    Cheers, Peter

    This should be the last of the big stuff that needs made, other than the wheels.
    Really needed to pay attention with these forks or it could be put together back ward very easily.







    And all the way up smooth as you please.

    HTL over and out

    Looks great Bruce.

    Reminds me of my old work days when we had lots of fork trucks moving around the plant.

    Regards

    Played with the wheels and muffler today.
    Made up some wheel blanks and off to the wheel jig tread maker.



    It makes it fast work when you can cut all the tires of the same size at one time.
    So only had to load the jig twice and it’s done.



    Also played with making a muffler and the back up warning light.
    I marked the dowel and using the drill table fence was able to slide the vice along the fence for in line holes.

    Simple wheel sanding jig.


    Wheels on. :]
    Over time these cherry wheels will turn very dark almost as dark as the walnut.

    forks set but will be adding some pin stops later on.

    Roof, hydraulics and muffler all in place.



    Just a few things left to do.
