Next days I will start with making a dump truck.
I consider making a blog about the building process as I get at least six (from different people ) requests for doing that.
Well Jan, that's four [4] very positive responses to your question….
BUT of course I would have expected the answer to be a resounding YES…
Sir, the detail in the notes and all the top photos, just speaks volumes for your craftsmanship, thank you…
LOL Please! please! please!
Dump Trucks are cool!!!
I'm going to need a truck shortly,
I picked up the water well driller plans on sale so a truck will be next for me.
I had to made groves from 0,7 mm wide in the springs. I don't have tools to do this and that's why I made the springs out of more pieces. I also wanted black springs and therefor I used european oak. Ebonizing european oak is easy because it contains a lot of tannic acid.

To make the axis holes fully parallel I made a new jig. I had seen this jig here at LJ but can't remember where. Sorry! My own conceived jig was much more time consuming. I make the hole 8,5mm over the full length. This makes that the 8mm. dowel can turn in the axis.

Alex the only jig I use is the one on picture 2,3,4 and 5. I put a long dowel from about 40 cm through the axel hole. Than it is easy to hold this dowel parallel to the disk. The wood with remains besides the hole is about 3-5 mm. For me this is easy to estimate. Hope this helps.
One great how to!!!
Looks like a very interesting build.
All those odd shapes has really made it a ball to clamp me thinks.
Never fail to find a tip that will make my next parts work better.
I have done that also. Sometimes we just don't see it a clear as we should…... but never the less, they always seem to come together…
nice to see you are human after all .
I had seen the drop down axle in another build and wondered if it worked or was glued in place, now I know.
Love the details!!!
Thank you, Thank you very much!!!
Sometimes it may look that I'm working on one piece of the the truck. But factual mostly I'm working on more parts at the same time. And this means that I made the seats at the time the glue of the engine was drying.

Dutch it's a great how to.
I don't really under stand this dash board, it's not your fault, I've never seen the inside of these big rigs so it just looks kind of strange to me?
You do realize that with all these pieces, you're soon gonna have to build a construction yard, with a maintenance shop, and some loading docks to park all this stuff in !
