Bill Hudson Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Construction of the frame. Photos are pretty much self explanatory. The little saw is a Preac. Only a few made. Uses slitting saw blades. The wood used for the frame is Western red alder.

Bill Hudson Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Making the wheels. Not having a large enough lathe to turn the wheel rims I had a special plate made to mount on my rotary table for my Sherline Mill. An indexing jig was made to mount on the rotary table plate to locate and drill each of the 200+ nail holes in the sides of reach wheel. The nails were turned down from antique miniature tacks. The wood used for the wheels is white oak for the fellies (rim) and Red alder for the hubs.

Bill Hudson Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted April 21, 2021 The lattice works made up from two basic parts. T shaped and H shaped. I made metal jigs to build each part in so that they would be the same. Then each part is glued together in an assembly frame.

Bill Hudson Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) A little break to post some of then photos of the original cart that I was working from. My friend Brian from UK sent me field drawings with measurement and loads of photos.

Bill Hudson Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Finishing out the top. For the fabric I used a patch from an old BBQ grill cover. To make the outer bows I laminated strips of veneer in a special former. I used carpenter's glue for gluing up as it gave me time to adjust the veneer in the former. \\\ Edited April 22, 2021 by Bill Hudson GrandpaPhil, Canute, mtaylor and 6 others 9 Quote Fall down nine times, get up ten.

Bill Hudson Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) The metalwork is an important part of this model but much is hidden behind the wheels. My Gorbet jewelry saw (one of my favorite tools) got a lot of use on this model. The saw frames I purchased through Reo Grande Jewelry supply. (No affiliation except as a customer). I use very fine blades for this thin metal. The hooks and rings are formed from black iron utility wire. The end cap son the shafts are formed from .010 tin. This brings this model build to an end. If there are any questions or comments I would be more than happy to hear them.
