HUZZAH!
I hope that's a good thing. Thanks for tuning in.
This has been an experience watching all of your different methods and I have learned a lot from you whilst doing this truck Kenny. It really is a good job and you have had a lot of patients with it. Something to be proud of.
Thanks for your kind words on the series and on the project William. I'm glad that you were able to take something positive away from it all. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Kenny, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I am so looking forward to the pup build. These have to be my all around favorite shows. Thanks for doing the seventeen shows that have made up this series.
Glad that you enjoy the series Paul. These projects and videos are a LOT of work but they seem to be very much appreciated by the audience in general. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
Beautiful model Kenny. You did awesome job on this one my friend. Wow 180 hours.
Several years ago I did other T&J dump truck #58. It took me only about 80 hours. Again this #121 is way more advanced. Love those model build shows. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words Marcelo. I'm glad that you like the final model. I appreciate you tuning in and adding to the conversation every week. Thanks.
I want to start making models like this, but I dont have a woodshop (yet). What tools should I get first to start?
This is a difficult question to answer Dave. Not knowing your budget or your skill level etc makes this a very difficult request. A table saw would definitely be on my list of things as well as a drill press. A lot of the work can be done by hand so if hand tools are your thing, a good hand saw, drills and chisels would definitely be a great start. This is a very ambitious project for someone who has no tool base to start with. Thanks for tuning in.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Thanks so much! I have about two years of experience from shop class back in high school. My current tool box consists of a cordless drill/driver combo, a 6" circular saw, a corded detail sander, and a miter box and razorsaw combo. Budget is pretty low, about $400-$500 a year. Would table saw/drill press/chisels still be your recommendation?
@@MaestroDave3113 I think that my suggestion would be to choose a pattern or model that you want to make and then start making that, using the tools that you have as much as you can. From there, you can add tools as the need arises for different sections of the model. This would eliminate purchasing tools that you don't need at the moment but may need in the future when more funds allow.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Thanks for the advice!
Finished truck looks AWESOME Kenny , looking forward to the trailer after a well deserved break from it. See you on Alternate Tuesday 🇦🇺
Glad that you enjoyed the build Troy. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
💥🎉🎊🏁 Congratulations on getting the Truck completed. A fantastic journey and a very very very educational set of episodes. You have done a marvelous job showing the intricacies of this build and, yes, the Pup should be a "faster" build since a number of the pieces mirror the dump bucket of the truck and you already have the wheels done. I did smile when I saw you use a molding pattern for the visor. That works so very well. I used that same approach on the real quarter panel body trim on the T&J '34 Chevy. The only way to go as far as I am concerned. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Have a wonderful week.
Glad that you enjoyed the series. Thanks for all the kind words and for tuning in this week. I appreciate your dedication to the show.
Sometimes a journey is boring and you just want to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible, this journey has been one where every step has been enjoyable, it has been a masterclass in skill, problem solving, patience and entertainment ... the end result is simply magnificent 👍...... P.S. Update your description as it says part 16, not 17!
Glad that you enjoyed the series Barry. I appreciate you tuning in. I've change the wording in the description so thanks for pointing that out. I have to fire my fact checker on the show. The guy's incompetent. LOL. I usually copy and paste the description for a series like this and I guess I missed changing the episode number. Thanks for tuning in.
The truck looks great Ken!! I like the mirrors really well, and the visor was a work of art!! thanks, will be looking next week for the start of the pup build.Have a great weekend Ken. David
Thanks for the kind words David. I truly appreciate it. The pup trailer will not be starting next week but rather in a few weeks. I need a bit of a break so we will be going back to regular programming for a few weeks. thanks for tuning in.
Really nice work and great project. I followed you on each episode, this build is a favorite project. Im a novice compared to your work. I do have one question, it looks like you use a "Zona" saw with your miter cuts, what size saw is it, they sell several sizes and I bought the smallest one and was looking to purchase a slightly larger hand saw...
I'm not sure if it's a Zona or not but this is the saw that I use with my small mitre box. I hope this helps. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/hand-tools/saws/back/102674-general-purpose-razor-saw?item=60F0312
Thanks for tuning in.
Hi Kenny, so many intricate pieces in this build, and all done to perfection from the master. This turned out looking great. Thanks for the hours of entertainment Kenny.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it Philip. I appreciate you tuning in to the series and appreciate your kind word at each step along the way. Thank you.
I think you can see where that extra spring part goes by looking at the pup trailer. Same for trail lights. Excellent job, one of more complex in my experience.
The pup trailer has no springs like the truck. It's a completely different assembly. The tail lights are also a little different but I managed. Thanks for turning in and for chiming in with your advice.
You have so much patience, and your patience has paid out. It looks awesome.
Thanks for the kind words Mark. I'm glad that you like the project. Thanks for tuning in .
New details look fantastic. Lot of hours in this build, the finished model looks fantastic.
Thanks for the kind words. I truly appreciate you tuning in and taking the time to leave your comments each week. Thank you.
It's looking great. I really need to think about a laser, that really gives the model a great look.
It definitely add a new dimension to the projects Don. Thanks for tuning in.
LOVED this series, Ken. Well done!!
Glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for tuning in to the show. I hope you will also enjoy the trailer series when it starts up in a few weeks.
Great build, can't wait to see what's next.
Thanks for the kind words Dave. I appreciate you tuning in to the show.
Kenny, a quick question: What is your finish of choice for the T&J builds? Watco Danish or lacquer or wax or ???
I will be producing a show soon on my method of finishing these models but in short, I use a Watch Danish oil for starters and then a satin finish water based varnish. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in
@@acutabove_woodworkings Thanks. Definitely helpful.
Looks great. So many small and fine pieces, and when assembled, it is a big model. Having said that, where do you put these in your house. Or what do you do with them all? Thank you.
I have a large display wall that has custom floating shelves for most of the models. I have run out of wall space currently and need to re-arrange some thing but other than that, they are displayed in the one room. Thanks for tuning in.
@@acutabove_woodworkings you should include in a future video, I am sure all of your works displayed there looks amazing.
Beautiful work! Great series.
Glad that you liked it Joel. Thanks for tuning in.
Good work. Bubba
Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the series.
Thanks Ken!
You're very welcome. Thank you for tuning in.
For those really small pieces, what about using CA glue? I guess it’s not as strong as wood glue but those mitered glue joints on the muffler since it’s end grain to end grain it’s not exactly the strongest joint to begin with. Curious to know your thoughts, I watched a guy build a hand rail for his stairs and he used dominos and CA glue.
I use CA glue on my builds. Well, just for small pieces. I also use clear coat lacquer for my finish, so any squeeze out of CA just dissolves under coat of lacquer. Kenny is not big fun of CA, also he used to oil his models, this way CA. just shows different color. I guess, to each his own
As Marcelo pointed out (he's asked this question before) I am not a fan at all of CA glue when it comes to models. I loathe the stuff. I have never seen a CA glue joint be permanent when it's wood on wood and while some guys swear by the stuff, I'd rather use a mixture of pigeon poop and snake urine as a glue instead of CA. (just kidding. That mixture doesn't hold well either. LOL). The CA glue squeeze out is a nightmare and it never cleans up properly. The joints are brittle and easily broken and using an accelerator spray can just turn the CA chalky white if you aren't careful. CA glue does have a place in the shop, but for me, that place is definitely NOT in a model build. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your question.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Hahahaha. But seriously Kenny, you should try some BSI Insta Cure glue, I actually don't use that accelerator at all on my models.
@@marcelo403polo2 I'm just not a fan of the CA glues when it comes to wood on wood connections. Wood glue works for me and it always has. I might look into the BSI but I honestly doubt that it would ever replace my wood glue, even for the smallest pieces. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I’m actually not a huge fan of the stuff either, when you apply the accelerator to the opposite piece, you have one quick shot to get alignment perfect.
