From all my queries and feedback, I believe Festools fixed price has something to do with some restrictions imposed by ASIC... or some other formal legalise BS. Individual distributers are legally...

Hi b'z, Would you have a picture of the tyre you require?

Not having seen the plans, but tyre kerf dimensions are not set in concrete. All you need to do is alter the thicknes of the treads in...

crowie, if you wan't to be a lazy... (censored) and use the profile cutter may I suggest getting the cutter professionally sharpened. If you can land a good engineer, you'll find that for a lot less...

I'm sure it was a lot of work paw', but in the end it was well worth it.

If you manage to keep hold of it you'll often look at it with a sense of well deserved pride.

Could not delete duplicate of above OOPSIE!

Hi them'21. Not having the spare Hilux in my back yard... I have a few but NOT a 1990.

If this was an "Ozito" forum I wouldn't even consider this format of a reply, however, being a Festool...

No need :banghead: . All I have to do is just wait for my next screw:compress: up :club:and I'm sure I'll have enough wheels for a few more :biker: builds... then, again I can blow my trumpet ...

Guilty as charged... on my first build, I made all the wheels right handed (tread orientation):o... so I had to make 4 left handed ones and now I have some spares,

But I'm not stewpid, I...

Good tip robbyg'... otherwise you'd get dizzy driving around in circles...:no::o:C

Furns, as most people mentioned, copy and print to scale is the cheapest way out. Personally I feel that tracing is only introducing additional margin for errors. At times you may need to scan,...

Thx TT... Looks like they have all bases covered... Have bookmarked the site!

Sorry duplicate post

As robbyg', said... what plans did you buy. If you are familiar with Sketchup (free 3D modelling tool... just RTFM if not), I have a lot of the T & J models (and a few Gatto and Cherrt T) imported...

Hi Taylorrka, I have purchased quite a few plans from the various sources mentioned by other members above...

Both T & J and Gatto, have moderate cost shipment costs in comparrison, however, as...

Nice tip robbyg'... however, it begs one question... where the hell do you get imperial dowel here in Australia... or did you cheat and do a mental metric to imperial conversion!

My brain is ill...

You were a tad late... the cops had already returned it to the owner and rewarded me by a few free night's accommodation!

So she can't be the dragon lady:dev::minigun: you claim her to be:ranting2:...Otherwise :rule:you'd be doing the dusting :suck:and you shouldn't be that heavy handed... unless you used a 3HP workshop...

Dang htl I posted all my cute replies, even snail mailed a pat on the back... deleted all the WEB prompts and kudos feedbacks etc... and then it hit me... No.. not the vino... where's the mirrors!!!!...

Sorry Keith, I quote you but its more directed to htl...

htl, I thought you had more models than that (wheres the drill rig, the doll house and the others?)... or did you run out of film for the...

Now let's analyse that...

A happy wife:whip: is one that get's the house🏠:please2:, drives away on her car:witch: and deflates your ego:pop:
... a happy life comes about 5-10 years later after...

Cheese:damn: htl, Just put it into top gear, plant the foot:biker: and scream:)( past her... louder than she can scream at you :harhar:.. With the donks you've built:burnt:,that should be a no...

htl, Those wheels still look great... However, wouldn't it have been easier to upsize the car? Just a thought!

Bah-Humbug crowie... sanding is easy... all you have to do is sit back and enjoy watching some other bunny do it!

Thx for the apology acceptance K'75... if you ever do... just tell that dutchman who sent you... he just might give me a hall pass to one of those Amsterdam "cafes"..

Sorry Kiwi75, I'm not renown for bulk reading... Just honed in this blog without reading the details of the author...

Hi (nose press) Kiwi75, If you want a beetle specifically then go no further, however, if you're after a WV you might want to try this out (only because you were speaking of shekels for plans)....

That is a helluva neat build "10-1" phalanx.. Just don't let him ride in a bordello... give him a year or two!

Jokes aside... that is cool! More pickies would not go astray... (not of the...

htl (et all), just in case you weren't aware... sorry if you are... superglue does have a shelf life... ball park figure 12 months.. but you can be unlucky if it's been sitting on the vendor shelf...

In my younger days I also had a hot VW... while it only had a top speed of 80KPH... it was stolen!

Hey TinyT, Don't give those poms any credit... Just say your inspiration was from Ernie Dingo on one of his mobile walkabouts...

PS. Extra brownie points for the scratch build... just keep the...

Great job there TinyT.

I agree with htl that it's Way cute, but I also agree with SWMBO that it reminds me of a birdhouse on wheels (only because of those two holes).

On further analysis of...

Sorry, my bad... It was the "Mechanical moron" in Lost In Space that didn't have a name.

Hey Bruce, Unfortunately you've already named him Robby.... It's a shame you didn't give him the more sinister name of Dr. Morbius!

htl, You got my pats on the back before. So let's have a change of pace....

Since when have you been into flashing, or as my dear old grandma would say "display self"...
419473

I think I may have alluded at this before but it might be worth a repeat....

Let's all conspire to talk DB' into documenting the build of the other half.

D'b', Hate coming in late as all I seem to do is echo what other have said, however, another pat on the back will serve to make your shoulders weaker... Great job in both the build and...

Dalb'y (and Little'un), Never tried them (didn't even know they existed), however, have had good success with cobalt drill bits. Just a tad (TAD, ok.. TAD) dearer, but they bend like the mighty...

Guilty as charged, htl. Every time I intend to do and every time I forget to do until 6 months later... DOH waziz dis?

Do you label your jigs and write instructions for them? Just recently I culled about a dozen jigs I built in the past (to make space for new ones) as I couldn't remember what they were made for.......

Looking good pawoods, however, it's going to crash on its maiden voyage... left hand drive?

Dalboy, I'll give you "E" for Effort in false modesty... I saw a picture of the outside of your workshop... It's not big enough to store 6" of shavings.

I still watch in awe of what you can...

Dalboy, who cleans your bench?... that's neat... for a woodworker!

Dalboy, no need to pine... when you're finished you can build the other half.

Great job on the "bling"...

Looking absolutely great.... Can't wait for the tracks!

Thanks for the support 'Pixel. As you rightly alluded to, I was not selling the product but trying to provide a layman's thought on what he has discovered to others who, through no fault of their...

G'Day 'wooly'. To be honest with you I don't go down to the level of pitch, TPI, UNC and all those jargons until it doesn't fit... and then I resort to the science of panic. All I can say is that in...

Go tell The Wood Whisperer that. How inconsiderate of him not to catere for woodworkers that don't use M14 (for whatever reason)! There are many things I cannot get in Australia that I have to...

I'm confident you will not regret it. The only down side is that you can't buy them individually (like the imperial ones), however, I'm sure you'll make use of the M10 and M12. I find that M14 may...

Hey htl (cannot call you #4 here as on this site you may get relegated to #1). Won't start a post, as I keep getting interrupted. Got about this far, but still debating the colour scheme (ebonised...

I have used standard metal taps for ages too and when I require torque, I use threaded inserts as well. Standard metal taps work perfectly well, but the TWW taps work perfectly better. For that...
