Well this is why I have not started any posts lately I have been busy one of my model adventures.

All the wood cut out and then the parts cut out using templates.

And today first on the list was set up a dust extractor for the bandsaw which arrived first thing this morning.

Then it was time for more work on the waggon followed by digging three rows in the veg patch, just can't do more than that the heart will not let me.

Anyway back to the waggon (see the last three photos) all I seemed to do was drill some holes in one of the bed cross members as well as cut 4 through mortices. Most of the time was working out the best way to cut these, I went for a 1/16" drill bit held in the chuck of the drill press with only 1/2" sticking out.
I drilled the holes first then small rows of drill holes for the mortices as you would for a full sized ones with a bit of care and keep operating the handle on the drill press I was able to get a mortice with round ends and as they did square ones when the waggon was built I used a needle file to square the ends.
I still have a load more to do on the waggon, the plans suggest that if you do not want to go to all of that trouble just glue the pieces butt joint fashion but where is the fun in that.

Cut the tenons on the summers and raves and fitted the rear cross piece as well as the front and middle cross pieces. This is the frame for the main carriage.

Started today by cutting the chamfers on the raves.

Then it was onto another sub-assembly which will eventually fit toward the rear of the first frame I made see the last photo of the two assemblies placed in position. This is the rear axle.
Anyway, I needed to cut out the axle and rear bed bolster to take the coupling pole and its braces, once happy with the fit I drilled holes in the coupling braces and through the coupling pole. This is quite time-consuming. Thinking about it I would rather do a full sized one less fiddly.

I still need to make cut outs for the first frame to fit onto this assembly.

This latest assembly has not been glued yet and some of the parts moved when I arranged it for the photo

I finished the other day with having 4 cut outs to do on the rear bolster, I managed to complete these and stick that in place. as in the first photo
All the parts for the rear axle complete but not stuck in place as I will have to drill a hole in parts when I have completed the front axle assembly
Started the front axle assembly but on checking found out everything seemed to be equal from both sides so either the original waggon that the measurements were taken from was not perfect which could be the case considering when they were produced or an oversight of the drawer of the plans.
So the question is which do I use the plans or make the measurements equal across the piece in question. It is the bar running up and down on the left
Well I made them equal and started to drill the bolt holes after which 4 mortices need to be cut, but that is for tomorrow.
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 to good and came in for a rest.

Beautiful mate my friend called yesterday that makes models, he asked me to photograph two of them so when I do you will be impressed as I am with yours, he loves seeing your work.,I especially like the simple boxes he fits them in that allow transport anywhere without internal movement. He is just on 70 now and a Vietnam Vet. I gave him 3 bagfulls of those recently shown burl offcuts to make animals with. Is van is fitted out with 20 tables and three quick set up marquees for trading his smaller and some large toys. Thinking of sending a box of burl offcuts to MIK out of Melbourne as well.

Kind regards Peter.

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



followed by some marking out.




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



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

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.



Two done with the hound shutter in place



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



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

Hi Derek,

Just seen this and wanted to say that your workbench should be framed and
hung on the wall of the National Gallery - it's absolutely magic and could, I
have no doubt, tell some amazing stories.
....the waggon is not:thumbs: too shabby either !!!!!

best wishes - Jim

Hi Jim glad you made it here. That bench has seen many projects. This one still need some work doing but has been put to one side for the moment as other projects keep getting in the way. Mind you I have about 6 or 7 projects on the go at the moment must get around to finishing them 4 of which I need to finish by the 26th November as family coming down and will be taking them back ready for Christmas.
