wallfish 16,963 #202 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) More drama So while attempting to make some small adjustments to the front of the frame and the pin which holds the axle, of coarse it got broken at the last second. I really don't like working on stuff after it's assembled because of stuff like this Spun out a new piece to fit in there. The old pin was drilled and glued but this seemed to be an easier way for this. Hopefully good to go but fixing it after initial assembly doesn't look as good Edited June 5, 2019 by wallfish 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually making them Lug style Ag would give the perfect size but I don't have the patience for marking all of those locations spaced out evenly plus adding the pieces. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,963 #205 Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) pecking away Front axle and steering and appears like this is going to work. Wish the tolerances were a little tighter but it's not too bad. Those little locking collars for the spindles are as fun as doing the tires This little pine K90 was done over the last couple of days.

It will have a display case but my fear is there is always some genius around who doesn't care and thinks the "Do Not Touch" sign doesn't apply to them or they don't watch or control their children. A child will most likely see this as just another toy Maybe I'll just put it on the roof of a building and bring binoculars for viewing. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #217 Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) I know what you mean Fish. A couple of years ago I had issues with someone letting their kids use my horses for a climbing jungle gym at our local show. Last year I had to put a rope around them. I’ve raised Emory to ask before touching or sitting on something belonging to someone else. Dang shame that others haven’t done this too! Hey thats a beautiful work of art, protect it!!!!!

wallfish 16,963 #219 Posted June 15, 2019 Latest update Have all the parts assembled at once and it's really close now. The steering moves but the tolerances are too loose to keep it looking right. I'll be doing some more little things and sanding probably right up until I leave to head down on Wed but here she is. Thanks so much for all of the great compliments and following along on this little build. 3 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
