    Hi Peter,
    Wondering if you can offer any suggestions for where to find some material on making tractor wheels?
    Hope you had a good time visiting your daughter.

    Thanks
    Kerry

    Pj, the more frugal your equipment is, the more we can admire the quality of your work with basic tools.

    As for the Kiwi heritage, all I was hinting at (in my roundabout way), was a brief narrative of what you do, why your there, likes and dislikes… actiually whatever, other than a blank info page.

    You mentioned Avalon… didn't you get my invite? Not that I really expected a visit but the offer is always open whenever you visit Aus.

    The reason why I asked about your models was as I've had a few inquiries about cabinets… I know a lot of modelers just leave them on the shelf and after building my ship without cover the dust accumulates and it's nearly impossible to remove. Was considering posting something about my glass faced cabinets.

    Hi LBD, I have actually sold all my models and now I have to make some more. Actually I am always making them even though I have short breaks in between. Like last week I was over your way to go to the Avalon Airshow and visit my daughter. Avalon nearly fried us in 45c + heat.
    I have raised close to $10,000.00 for my favorite charities with money from the models.
    I will endeavor to get some pictures of my work area one day but you better believe me that you will be disappointed, most of my work is done on the band saw,drill press and by hand tools. I don't have any fancy gear and my work area is less than a single car garage.
    My Kiwi heritage is nothing to brag about as I am a naturalised Australian I have the passport to prove it. As I like to say I did it by choice, most Aussies did it by accident.
    Yo Pj, what have you done with your models? Do you sell, give away (donate) or let them dust collect?
    For the ones (if any) you keep, are they under glass?

    Also, how about a few pickies of your working environment and bragging rights about your Kiwi heritage…
    all we know is you live in Auckland… or are you worried the cops may learn about you?

    Hey Pjonesy of all your model projects which one do you like the most and which was the funnest to build.

    I would have to say my favorite is the 31 Cadillac Roadster which was one of the easier models to make. I could not say which one was the most fun as I believe if it isn't fun to make then don't do it.

    These are some of the best examples of model car making I have seen. I have made some cars in the past, but my true love is for model trains which I build in 3/4 scale. because they are about 70% metal and 30% wood, I won't post them here as this is a woodworking forum and metal work is not appropiate here.
