    Ah, Thank you, sir. My week is now complete since I could watch and learn and enjoy another edition of this project. It is going along so well and this video explanation of how to set up the template for using router bushings was terrific. You've explained it before but this one, I think, was the most illuminating yet. Great job. I do have one question for you about making the radiator insert. Perhaps I am missing the difference ( vertical fins vs horizontal fins) between an earlier project but in Part 4 of the Scale Model build at point 24:19 you made the radiator insert using a 1/8" set up block after cutting the 1/16" center grove and then making the needed adjustments for the set up block and subsequent cuts. The result was perfect and I have used that very technique to make tufted seats for models, etc. So my question is why did you change the technique for the Dump Truck build? A new and better technique, perhaps? Just curious. Either way, the outcome was/is great. Thank you, Kenny, for all that you do and the grace you show in sharing your knowledge and skills. Until next week . . . . Regards and wishes for a wonderful week.

      The technique was changed to suit the pattern. If I remember correctly, (and understand your question correctly) the technique for cutting grooves in the grill doesn't change depending on whether they are horizontal or vertical but rather due to the size and spacing of the grooves. I believe the other grill with the 1/8" spacer, the grooves were spaced at 1/8" apart whereas these ones are spaced at 1/16" apart. It's just what the plans called for and sometimes we have to adapt our methods to make the piece according to the prints. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for tuning in this week. I'm glad that you are enjoying the series.

    Another great build segment Ken. That is how I thought you would do the grill. I built Toys and joys '51 pickup, and it had the 1/16th groove for the door opening also. It also had a door panel that stood proud of the main part of the door. Did basically the same thing you did, but had a do an extra step to get the door panel groove in it. It looked really good as did yours, and it really makes you feel good when you spend 4 hours making a jig to do a 30 second task. Great job again Ken!! David

      Sometimes, those shop made jigs and the problem solving is that most satisfying thing about these build David. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your story. Love it.

    Kenny, the use of templates sure does increase accuracy once you wrap your head around how the work. Great progress this time.

    Sir, how do you decide on which wood species to use where? Strength? Color? Are there any species that you simply WON'T use? Why?

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  6 месяцев назад +1

      All of the woods that I use on these models are hard woods. Some of them are on the softer end of the hardwood scale but I still use them. If parts are functioning and will take abuse, I try to use a harder hardwood such as maple or walnut. Which one depends on what colour I want the part to be as I don't stain these models and just use the natural colours of the woods. Because I use all hardwoods, choosing which species to use is all about colour and what will look best on the model for me. Woods that I won't use...Pine (too soft) Spruce...(to sap filled) Plywood....(ugly). I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.

    Thanks Kenny, always like your shows and learning the way you do things. I made a prototype of the little tip truck , I will make another one a lot better I am sure when I get the chance. I baught the first book from Lee Valley postage to Australia is costly, but glad I got it .

    As a frugal Dutchman I would have glued a strip of cherry to the poplar 😂. Again a great explanation Kenny.

      LOL. If that's what works Dutchy, then that's what you should do. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with the kind words.
