An idea borrowed from somewhere else: cut axle washers from the lid of a plastic container with hole punches, if you have them. Glue won't stick to them, saves a dab of plastic from the trash, and saves a little bit of money.

Kenny, as always, it was a great series. The POP that the danish oil created put it over the top. I've been working on a backhoe loader with steering. Practice makes perfect unless you repeat mistakes like mine. There are 2 cams for the steering that measure 5/8 Z 5/8 X 1 1/8 with two through holes and one 90 degrees through one half through the bottom one. I made them 5 times because I forgot to "mirror" them. Photos will come when complete. Thanks for the builds. Now I can make wheels for the Toys n Joys Dulley

Hi Ken first off I think you do a great job, I am just about to start on the Ford Stake Bed Truck, I would go over chapter may be a dozen times as I have said to you before, I do have short term memory loss. I could woffel on a good bit more but I will cut to the chase ! First off are you using 100 120 grade sanding paper for leaving on you levelling jig. I have set up the straight edge and square system for the lay out great idea, I do have trouble seeing the lines you draw on the wooden parts I have a fine tipped black pen that I can rub the line out if it does not work out any how I will let you know I have a number of jigs for getting accurate line but I am not the best at using them Any how bye for now stay safe Regards Col from Australia

I am assuming that you mean the sandpaper on the MDF. On one side, I have 120 grit and on the other side I have 220. It works well for sanding most parts and will still keep your crisp edge. I hope that you are able to make a successful model and that you will send me photos of the finished project when you are done. You've got this. Just take your time and think each piece through and you will do just fine. Thanks for tuning in Col.

I think I finally got the confidence to tackle a Toys and Joys plan. This series really helped deciding and I'm definetely going to watch again. I'm just worried that in my country wood thickness is very limited, my only tools are scroll saw, drill and sander and we use metric system, not imperial. But I'm still going to try, I'll trace the plans onto a computer and adjust according to my needs. Hope it works, I'll let you know how it turned out! :))

For starters, I applaud you for taking the plunge and giving this a try. That's the first step. While the model will be challenging with the tools that you have, I honestly don't think that you can't do it. I am sure that you can. You may just have to think about some of the pieces and how to construct them. I think your sander will also come in handy for shaping some of the pieces. I really look forward to seeing your finished project. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your build. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
