thanks men i had to re boot this dang thing but i'm back...here is the parts for the bolster the axle with the cut outs in the axle is for the reach to sit in and the mortist joint for the front hounds to fit in... then on top of that is the standards that turns or lets the axle turn under it...the standards or the up rights on the end that holds the sides in place.. or you can put logs or lumber on there like a bed that way you can move the back wheels for and aft.. some beds have plank stringers under the bed and they set inbetween the standards like a hay rack then the bed gos over the wheels for a 8' wide bed.. the curve part at the end of the hounds gos under the reach and will have a brace over the top of the reach they'll have iron on them for ware on the reach the reach it's salf has a plate on top for ware of the brace on top the reach gos inbetween the curve brace and the top one you can see that in the next photos....

here you can see the glue up in real life these would be just bolted with u bolts.. and these will be bolted with u bolts on a model it's just so much ezer to hold them togather with glue when working and it keeps them in place just like you put them.. here you can see how the back axle pits the bottom part now on to the top parts....

here you can see the front axle with the top cut out on top of the axle with the hounds glued in place they will have u bolts as well in the right place you can see the mortist and tenon joint on the curve brace this brace will have iron on top for ware on the reach the top brace is not on yet allso you can see the bumpper pins inbetween the axle and the top cut away there so the reach will not ware in the axle i use a 1/4'' dowel so in scale there 2'' that's what size they or on a real wagon.. this axle has a long cut away some have a short cut away i don't know way theres so many wagon builders this is a john deer axle and gear i'm useing on these wagons i use what i like or what i think look good and some will use this as a point to pick out but i just say there was a farmer that had three wagons of no use so he made one real good wagon and that my friend is how i got to town... don't ask about the horses...

here is a shot at all three wagons note the frist one how the bolster is sagging, when the top brace is in place it prevents this sort of thing it will go on 6'' infront of the curve brace there will be a pin that stands up 2 1/2'' high it will be moris and teon fit with a strap of iron that bolts at the end of the hound in front of the curve and up over the post then on over the cut away block on top of the axle under the standard block you can see just sitting on top of the axle.. that's what gives suport as the bolster turns.. some make a curve all the way around and down the other side of the hound ond some have a iron plate that sets in the center on the axle like i said theres a lot of styles they very some or not so good looking i think at the end of wagon makeing they was all looking for a better way and some or more mechanical looking than otheres but the old way looks the best to me the one that makes a curve is just made out of a squre stock 5/8''by 5/8'' and is all ways bent down i'm sure from standing on to get in the wagon so from what i can see it's for looks it would not suport a wagon in a turn at all any more than the way the old ones was made and i've have looked at alot of wagons in and out..the one with the round plate it looks like it would work good and have alot of suport as well it looks like a good idea that came a long to late...

I don't think i did say what wood i used on these wagons i all ways use a hard wood i'm sure i mentioned that but if i'm wrong the wood i'm useing on these wagons is popler, it's ez to work with and strong and stays put.. they get paint any way so i save the high doller wood for things i'm going to let the wood show...

Most impressive progress there Gary!!!
Good to see the way you do things. You have certainly
managed to use simple means of construction and that
must be a real money saver and time saver.
