School Bus Part 1
I haven't done a real time blog in a long time. Time to do one. I'm using my phone for pictures for the first time so we'll see how that goes…
I'm bulding a pair of school buses for grandkids birthdays. The first one starts school this fall. The second one will be given in 2 years. I started with a set of plans from Toys & Joys . The first thing I did was redraw it at half size.
After getting the wood cut to the various thicknesses (3/4", 3/8", 3/16", 9/32", 1/8", and 1/16") I cut the floors
I also got the roof parts started
And the step
Then on to the Wheel Wells
and Axle block. I drilled halfway from each end to limit bit wander
Then glued everything onto the floors
I also made the blanks for the seats
and started the radiator grills & frames. I cut the v-grooves with the saw blade tilted 45 degrees,
That takes care of the first 2 days.
