Starting another model build

[Kenbo]

After finishing the roll top desk, I needed something a little lighter on the brain and a lot lighter on the body so I decided to start another model build. The day wasn't very eventful as there was some milling of the rough cut stock that had to be done as well as some marking and layout of the base pieces. But then again, every build starts off like this with some boring pieces that look like a 6 year old made it and then after a few posts, the build starts to take shape. Stay tuned guys.....there's more to come.

For me milling up the rough stock is fun!
I'm gonna guess a road grader?

I don't mind milling the stock but I hate the jointer. It's just too repetitive for me......and the road grader (while a good guess) is a wrong guess.

@Woodworking Vet - You are watching this aren't you David?? Wooden model build and you gotta look hard to find a speck of sawdust in the shop anywhere!!

@rocky1 if you look close you can see some on the bench

Yeah, he's slipping! That desk build where he couldn't move things around and clean up like he was sposed too has him all backed up, and such. Needs a good dose of dust-buster laxative, give him a day or two of actually being able to move around and clean, and it'll be spotless for the rest of the build!

I'm firing up the backpack leaf blower tomorrow. Dust mask, goggles and a 2-stroke on my back. Sawdust won't see it coming and won't stand a chance.

Always look forward to these builds of yours Ken!

A skateboard???

I'm afraid Ken is working for the North Koreans... those photos look exactly like satellite shots of Kim Jong's missile program(except for the white guy at the jointer).

 

[rocky1]

Yep... That went and done it! Not a speck of sawdust the rest of the build!

@rocky1 , I see the saw dust, I can't believe the mess!!

Dump truck?

Dump truck?

Good guess but still no.

This model is a fairly simple one so it won't take you guys long to see what it is once the pieces start getting put on it.
