My Model build to start 2021

Kenbo said:
Spent 9 hours in the shop today making parts for the drive chain. It was a time consuming process of building a little drilling jig, drilling all the centres out of the dowel spacers and then using the jig to drill all (almost) 200 parts. From there it was another little jig for marking out the cutting and then cutting all of the parts over at the scroll saw. I still have to sand all the pieces but at least they are made. I guess I know what I am doing next weekend on the build.

Hey, creepy stalkers @ripjack13 @Tony ... he will stop posting if every picture posted is scrutinized within an inch of its life. Look at the work and be amazed like the rest of us and move on...

When a scroll saw blade is used, but not worn out, I have magnets labels with the blade type on them so that when I change blades, I don't have to try and guess what blades are sitting around. So under that magnet would be a used, #2R reverse tooth blade. It's just a good way to keep track of what blade I am using and what blades are used but not worn out.

Me too!!!! I only stopped using it last month. I was so proud that I graduated from my Kermit the Frog sippy cup.

Now I use Fozzie Bear.

Nah. That's one of the things I love about this forum. The fact that we are all comfortable enough to give a little friendly ribbing without some sensitive A-hole having to fill out a hurt feeling report. It's all in good fun. Who knows, maybe I will post my Fozzie Bear sippy cup this weekend.

I think you need to add that one to your next tips and tricks video. I need to be more imaginative with my use of the magnets, they are great!!

Wait, we have a hurt feeling report form? Where are these forms located and who do you turn them in to when demanding satisfaction for getting your feelings hurt?

Asking for a friend... :read:

I am the keeper of said forms. I can email one to you, err, I mean your friend, if they need one. After you, I mean your friend fills it out, you, I mean your friend can send it back to me.
 
Another 9 hours on the build today and I have to say it was a long day. That's okay though because there was good music and a huge variety of procedures to keep my mind active. I sanded all the pieces of the two larger chains and then started the assembly of them. I managed to get both chains finished and then I moved on to the harder chain. The pieces are pretty small and I am actually surprised that I managed to get all the pieces cut, drilled, shaped, sanded and assembled in one afternoon. I guess I was in the groove. More tomorrow. Now we're getting somewhere.

Spent the day working on fine tuning the differential and the drive shaft. Got the differential done but the drive shaft is giving me some trouble. I will have to continue it next week.

Oh, and I also included my Fozzie Bear Sippy cut for @Tony
