My 1:16 adventure

Awesome! 32 oo_80's    

Oh man I had to take a second ay what I wrote. You said the number of 00-80 nuts was 30 in the truck photo.
I counted 32 each 00-80 nuts bolts and washers. Hence 32 00 80.....

Your turntable is looking amazing! I used jigs (several) for drilling breadloaf when I had my trim business to keep the bit from wandering off track. Great tools make or break a project.

How's the new knee doing?

The knee is good.
Thanks for asking.
I'm amazed how sensitive it is to weather.
Boggles my logical mind.
Better than the original one.
I've been bucking and splitting firewood the last two weeks

MJ nice turntable!! Sometimes you just have to work with what you gots.

[labdad]

I absentmindedly forgot I needed a ring rail for the turn table...
So I made a rail bender out of scraps.
Luckily I had aluminum rail (code 250).
At least I'm making progress.

Beautiful work.  Now I know where to go if I need a jig built.

Nice!
Will you add handles so the crew can push the turntable around?

[labdad]

Yes Rick!
I just hung them a few hours ago. 😳
The handles pivot and assist indexing the rails onto the big timber.
They still need "hooks" to store them when not in use.

I have been working on the machine shop. Planer & hacksaw saw still needs a belt. I need to build a pedestal grinder.spring has been a slight distraction (getting ready for it!)

Marty, the realism is off the charts.
Always a pleasure seeing your modeling.

Thanks guys!
I am enjoying it (except hanging the #&**$#@&&+-##&*++ belts!)

Did I ask this already:  What adhesive are you using to glue the belts to the pulleys?  I tried a bunch of things, and finally went with Deluxe Materials Tacky Glue.
