I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Thanks Don. I have no idea why I need 16(+) handsaws, but they seem to keep following me home.

Never did learn how to use one of these, but just looked at your wheels and am humbled. However, I am quite familiar with all those wooden handled things in the background.

I don't know if I can list the buyer of the plastic models, but I will because he also has balsa kits. Be forewarned, his prices are on the high side, but comparable with Evil-Bay. His web site is: oldmodelkits.com.

Been waiting for years to get a small lathe but the price always scared me too. Remember the pile of plastic kits that I was sorting out several months ago? I sold about a third of them to a collector, so I had the funds available to purchase it.

Lucky you! I've always wanted one but like JO, price kills it for me.

Just checked the price tag....do not need it that much!

Sweet design, must copy it!
John M Oshust, Comment for image # 3418816 Jun 15 18:20
Must have one of these!

Very cool. I'd like to get a lathe someday, but I'm pretty fond of all my appendages.

Just saw this in my area a little over a week ago.

Lacing jig with wheel hub in place on the armature. More to follow, I hope.

I just had to use the new toy. Turned down some PVC pipe, ala John O., to resemble rims for the OL-8. 2" diameter X 3/8" wide w/40 spoke holes drilled through them. The little white washers will be the wheel hubs when assembled. I got carried away with gizmology making the jig, it didn't have to be anywhere that complicated.

Oh, By the way: My new toy, big sale (+) 20% discount via Harbor Freight. Spent a week taking it down to the nuts & bolts, cleaning all of the ucky red grease out of it and setting it up. I'm gonna have a good time with this one.

Hope that you are all having a good summer. Just finished restoring the orange glider but need to have time to sit in it.

Hi All! Had a rainy day so no landscaping or mowing. Covered the bottom of the Main Flaot with 1/16" basswood and sanded fair. I'm still trying to figure out the L.G and wheel wells before covering teh rest of the float and moving on.

Hey Don!! Check this one out.

Don C: It is one of those OLFA rotary cutter "self-healing" mats that quilters use, so yes you can do some heavy duty cutting on it. I picked it up on a garage sale for next to nothing. I have had it for quite a few years and it stands up well.

This build entices me to make some summer saw dust!
Don C, Comment for image # 3412327 May 15 15:17
What is the green mat? Can you cut on it? I've been looking for one that big.

John, rulers and pencils: I can never find the one I just laid down, so I always have spares available. Thanks, I love my shop also.
