Another toy BullDozer

Been playing with another wood toy project.
Bought and down loaded the plans for the Bull Dozer from Wood Store Net.
I was looking at the High Gear Dozer from Toys and Joys but you have to order the plans which is fine but I wanted to get started now not two weeks from now.

Well here's what I've got done so far.
Wood Engineering Building Machine Motor vehicle


Now I'm going to start at the Beginning. LOL
I'm building with Walnut I found while scrounging and Mahogany from a bed also found lumber.
The plans show a flat blade for the front but as I'm doing with a lot of this build I'm taking ideas from the Toys and Joys pictures and making this a little more of a show toy and not a kids play toy.
So I'm cutting out the center of the blade to make it more real to life.

To make the blade I clamped my sliding fence down and just tacked a angled fence to get the cut.
Fast and easy.

Once I get working I forget to take pictures, and I jump around a lot.
While the blades glued up and drying I worked on the base and as it was drying I built the cabin.
It's pretty cool in my shop so the glue is taking a lot longer to dry.

I added the radiator because after I got the base and engine compartment built and started sanding it a large screw hole showed its ugly face so had to come up with a work around or start over, hey I love a good radiator so why not.

Automotive tire Wood Motor vehicle Gas Automotive wheel system




I used store bought wheels they look so much better.
The plans called for 1" wheels down below but Hobby Lobby didn't have any so I got 1 1/2" and made a jig and sanded them down to fit.
I hated to have to make the jig but once it was made the job went really fast and their all just right plus now I have the jig to make my own wheels if I need to.
The more I look at it the better the 1" wheels look.
The stock wheels would have looked like the bigger wheels these look different like their supposed to be there. lol

I would have loved to build the real tracks for this build like on the T&Y build but we'll save that for next time.
I still may buy the T&Y plans mainly for the tracks setup.

That's all for now thanks for looking in.

T&J Dozer #1

When Gr8Hunter posted his dozer It was just so nice I had to get a move on and build one.
His project here

I already have the tracks and some left over hydraulics from my excavator so all the really hard work is already done just need to build a body and put er together.
My first dozer here.
My excavator

So here's my starter pictures.
I will be using oak and walnut and a little cherry.
These are store bought plans from Toys and joys, they make some really great plans and are a ball to build.
The tracks for this are the major part of this build.
Here's a short how to for the tracks and Dutchy also has one.
Somebody keeps stealing the pictures I thought I took but once I get working it's hard to think to stop and take them plus many things I've already made how to's for so no need repeating them.

Can't you afford stickers for the banding? TIC

I like… VERY nice touch.

PS. You gotta paint that pink basket… Maybe you can use the sides (of the pinkie) as a template for the grill…

T&J Dozer #2&3

Barely spiting and sputtering the last couple a days but got a little done.

Got out my bucket a treads for the dozer and the parts were cut out but still need the holes the treads and the alignment blocks so a ton a work still to be done on them.

These will be walnut treads but also had some mahogany one made up so used one of the mahogany treats to make a drilling jig.
Wood Tool Gas Wood stain Hardwood


I just drilled through the one side then flipped the jig over and did the other side.
Wood Bumper Machine tool Gas Automotive exterior


Build note
When drilling and then putting the tread together if the dowels are too tight the treads may seem to lock up or when you have ten or more together it wants to turn and or not lay down flat, you will need to drill the inside hole a 1/32 bigger and this will give the dowels a little extra clearance.
They will now lay down flat and be loss like a snake.

I then made a jig to guide me as I glued on the guide blocks.
slide the tread under the jig put some super glue on the block set it next to the guide then wait a few seconds and slid it out and clamp.
I glued the two guide blocks to the mahogany tread then clamped to the table.

I didn't take pictures but for the traction treads I cut a groove for the treads to fit in for strength but more to guide the small parts to line up
There's pictures of this in my excavator blog.

WS Tractor Semi

Wanted a better truck for the Low Boy so going to be playing with the Toys and Joys W S Tractor.
Got a pretty nice start on the frame today, but had to get the shop straightened up first was a total mess after the last couple a builds..
I am kinda disappointed with these plans, was hoping for a more complicated suspension kinda like on Dutchy's dump truck.
I know I could soup it up but think I'll stick with the plans for this one.

Building diesel tanks and gluing up axles.
Over a year ago I scrounged up a wood porch umbrella pole and it has come in really handy for building gas tanks and air compressor tanks being that it's 1 1/2", has a really nice grain pattern.

WS Tractor Semi #3

Finally got back to building my truck.
Using oak and walnut for this build just love the way the grain in the oak shows up in these models.
Needed to cut out the engine compartment.
Wanted it cut in one pass so it would be nise and smooth so the clamp keeps it from being able to move.












Next up was the grill and made some doors..




Then on to the dash board and finish the inside so I could close it up..

WS Tractor Semi Fenders and cab

I thought it was supposed to cool off a little this week but I think they lied cause it's hot out there!!!
Me and fenders don't get a long, I plays the same trick I did last time and made them backwards???
In my mind any part that's thin at one end should be the front and it gets me in trouble with these fenders every time. lol with a couple a GRRRR in there.
But never fear I finally got it straight.

Took the wheels off the woodie to check it out.

From what I see here I may make the wheels a little extra big to fill in some of that space.
The funny thing is if I had gone strictly by the plans there would be even more space.

WS Tractor Semi Making wheels

Before I go any farther with my truck I figured I better get some wheels made so I can build the back fenders to fit since I'm going to make some slightly over sized wheels to fill in some of the space between the wheels and fenders.

I've done tire how to's before so just some pictures showing how I've change thinks up a bit.
I added a longer bolt so I can now cut treads on 3 tires at once and if I would have had a longer all thread I would have made it longer.

Thursday I cut up a board of walnut for the wheels, the funny thing here is that morning my neighbor came over and wanted to know if I wanted a shelving board he was getting out of his way and of course I said sure need me to bring my truck?
Well he come back over and it's a bowed up board[8'long] well I was working on my air filters for the model truck so just took a quick look at it and saying thanks for it thinking it was Mahogany so really!!! thanks!!,
HuMMM wasn't really wanting mahogany wheels but hey you use what you got right!.
So yesterday I start cutting into it around the nots and splits and it hits me this doesn't smell like Mahogany this is walnut so dirty and old I didn't recognize it till I took a better look at it.

So I'm thrilled to death for this timely wood which will be just perfect for the truck wheels.

So yesterday I started cutting it up for the wheels it was so cuped I split it down the middle to help flatten it out and cut around the bad places but for model work it's just perfect once I planed it.

Used the band saw and made some wheel blanks, then to the SS to sand them round and route the outside.

So today I dug out the wheel jig and changed it around a little and off to making treads.
This jig was made for the Hummer which has much bigger wheels but just needed to raise the blade up to adjust for that.

Here's the Hummer how to for the tire jig.

I know this isn't a fancy tread pattern but with only a couple a hours invested [in making the treads] it turned out just right, plus it will match up with the lowboy trailer and that's what I wanted in the first place.

Here's the steel wool vinegar stain on the new wheels, still wet.
There so black they don't even show up very well.

Notice the toothpick, tried one to see if it would stain and it do's get some what darker.
I need to stain a box for my spokes and lug nuts for next time .

After I cut up the walnut I was kind of upset with myself for using up the walnut for this but after seeing how dark they are walnut is the wood to use my last wheels using oak didn't come out this black.

Here's the last post for the truck.
Project thread here.











Making the mufflers.
Drill out a 5/8 dowel for muffler body.
Seems like every time I need to drill out a dowel I think up another way to do it.










Here's a teaser for tomorrows project post.
All that work just so the trailer and truck both have the blacked out wheels.

Power Wagon 6x6 building the transfer case, drive shafts and wheels

First picture shows the back drive shaft passing over the differential and heading to the transfer case.
Both rear drive shafts go to the transfer case independently.
Second picture show the transfer case with the drive shaft to the trans and one to the front end.
I ran out of 1/4" oak dowel so will finish up the drive shafts monday.
Last pictures just showing the travel of the rear axles.

Then drilled 5/8 deep with the hole saw and will clear it out with a fastener bit just deep enough so the router can clear for the inside shaping.
Using the 1" store bought wheels for the centers the hole saw fits them just right but not wanting to drill all the way through to help keep every thing centered, so after the hole saw I clear out the hole with the biggest fastener bit I have.
By doing it this way everything stays center to the axles.
Then when I glue in the centers if their off a little bit I just drill from the back using the hole saw's guide hole and everything is just right.

So here's what they will look like, I had an extra one from the semi build so put it in here to show the difference in looks just by using a different router bit and spacing the tread differently.

I finally did it, I went back and did most of the things that needed to be done, so it is finished..
The biggest thing I wanted to do was close in the windshield it was looking way to open, and was the one thing I didn't like in these plans, if I was to build another one I would lower the top some for a cleaner look.

32 Chevy Wheel time

I figured before I could do the fenders and just about anything else I better get the wheels in shape.
On the jig I used before I had a hard time clamping it down, my clamps didn't have enough reach, then it hit me to use a longer 2Ă—4 and I could clamp it at the edges.
Most times simple is better.

What caused the problem was not having the right size router bit and cutting too big a seat for the radiator but on this second try it hit me that my laminate trimmer bit would do it with a smaller bearing on it.

Sprint race car motor, seat, rear end

Needed to start with the things that will hold the two frames together.
This is being made with what wood is left over from other project.
Cherry walnut and oak dowels.

I haven't read one bit of the instructions just using the pictures to get er done.
When I get near finished and things aren't going right I'll read the fine print and see what I did wrong. lol
The Gatto plans have a lot a reading instructions but these plans came with a full sheet with all the part pictured so you can copy, print and then cut them out and glue to your wood can't get much easier than that.

I love building these different models never fail to learn something new, like these cars don't use a transmission it's more of a direct drive, to change gearing they can switch gear ratios in the differential.
