In this edition you will Jearnto build fascinating construction vehicles. Our main objective in creating this book was to help you attain the best possible results in reproducing these vehicles aseasily and simply as possible. Building them will require patience, know-how and, most importantly, the proper tools So, for those who enjoy detail and precision, youll love building these models using the easy and accurate methods suggested in this book. ‘You will note that special care has been taken to provide you with as many explanations and instructions as possible. All pattems are fill size and easily transfered onto wood. Easy-to-follow assembly drawingsarealso included for each model. Please keep in mind the most important aspect of woodworking - safety! And don't forget to read all instructions before you begin. I wish you the best of luck with your projects. Pleasenote: Themodels youcanbuild with thisbookarenottoys, (Thereare many simall parts that can easily break and may be swallowed by young children.) They have been specifically designed as display models only. If you wish to make this line of construction vehicles for a child, you can buy the book entitled Making Construction Vehicles For Kids by the same author. 1 IntroductionHow to use this book Start by reading through the book to get familiar with its contents. Make the two jigs shown on page 4 and 5. Use the materials list to cut all the parts required for a particuliar model Label the parts with a pencil using their corresponding number (eg. L1, 12) ‘You have been supplied with two sets of pattems for each model. The first setis found with the instructions and includes ll parts. The second set can be found in the appendix and includes only those parts complicated enough torequireapatter. Using scissors, cut outthe second set ofpattemsneeded to make the model you have chosen to build Attach the patter to the proper piece of stock. Cut and sand the finished parts Mark drill holes, if required, and remove the pattern. When all the parts are completed, follow the step-by-step assembly drawings to complete your model.

RED All the pistons, cylinders and pins are made by using maple dowels. It is recommend that you purchase a few ofeach. The diameters of these dowels are 1/8", 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2". They are usually sold in 3- or 4- foot lengths. ‘When making these models you will need to make two different types of pistons and cylinders. Each requiring just a few steps. In a short time, you should be able to make them quickly and easily. The following is the first type of piston and cylinder you will need to make. | oe viw | | ve" BIA pave smmPaa4 te ia.

Start by cutting materials needed by following the list of materials, paying attention to the rough and finished size, Identify the parts as they are cut. Please note: Different types of wood can be used for the various parts. It is suggested, however, that hard wood beused, since many oftheparts wouldbemuch too fragile if using soft wood. We have used a combination of pine, maple and oak to give the models a nice contrast! 2- Remove the full-size pattems found in the appendix. Cut them out, leaving approximately 1/16" all around, and place on the proper piece of wood. Pattems can be secured to wood using either spray adhesive or rubber ciment. Ifusing the latter, cut and sand the part first to finished siz. If drilling required, mark the hole byinserting a scriber ornailthroughtthe pattem into the wood. Remove the pattern before drilling. You should have no trouble determining which surface to attach most of the patterns.

Identify the parts as they are cut. Please note: Different types of wood can be used for the various parts. It is suggested, however, that hard wood beused, sincemany oftheparts wouldbemuch too fragile if using soft wood. We have used a combination of pine, maple and oak to give the models a nice contrast! 2- Remove the fill-size patterns found in the appendix. Cut them out, leaving approximately 1/16" all around, and place on the proper piece of wood. Pattems can be secured to wood using either spray adhesive or rubber ciment. fusing the latter, cut and sand the par first to finished size. Ifdrillingisrequired, mark the hole byinserting a scriber or nail through the patterninto the wood. Remove the pattern before drilling, You should have no trouble determining which surface to attach most of the patterns.

Identify the parts as they are cut. Please note: Different types of wood can be used for the various parts. It is suggested, however, that hard wood beused,sincemany oftheparts would be much too fragile if using soft wood. We have used a combination of pine, maple and oak to give the models a nice contrast! 2- Remove the full-size pattems found in the appendix. Cut them out, leaving approximately 1/16" all around, and place on the proper piece of wood. Pattems can be secured to wood using either spray adhesive or rubber ciment. fusing the latter, cut and sand the part firs to finished size. Ifdrilingisrequired, mark the hole by inserting a scriber or nail through the pattern nto the wood, Remove the pattern before drilling. You should have no trouble determining which surface to attach most of the pattems. Some parts, however, can be confusing since the pattern could fit on more than one surface. The dravings below indicate exactly which surface to attach the pattems for these parts. B37 B33 3- Look at the full-size drawing sheets to finish parts B1, B2, BG and B1B. 4- Parts B13, B16, B18 and B23 will need additional cuts and details, please refer to the additional information pages, to complete these parts 5- Using maple dowels, make all pins, shafts, etc. 6- Follow the assembly drawings to complete your model Backhoe: General Instructions 122List of Materials - Backhoe * W_ | L_| Material | aty.| Bi4| va | 118 | sve | maple | 2 Bi5| ver | ive 1a | maple | 4 Bie} 1 | tse" | 212 B17} va" | 16/0" | 21/8" | maple Bie] ve a4 136" Big] ve | tae 4 In jo ja [n |p ja |p [mn [a [nm [a T = Thickness W= Widh L = Length Instructions: R= Rough sizes, the material is cut oversized so you have ample room to apply the pattern on the surface.

Patterns can be secured to wood using either spray adhesive or rubber ciment (a glue stick can also be used, but the pattern is often hard to remove afterward!). 2+ Cutand sand the part to finished size. If drilling is required, mark the hole(s) by inserting ascriber or anail through the patter into the wood. Remove the pattern before drilling. 3+ You should have no trouble determining which surface to attach most of the patterns. Some parts, however, can be confusing since the pattem could fit on more than one surface. When unsure, look at the general instruction page for exact location.Full-Sized Patterns: a ieee on ee" Dee ve" Die ve ee pee" nm Eo ® G) pa 2/64" DIA ee ae 5/8 DEEP la i776e 8 aD TOP PIECE ee te us aSWet DIA ® us us swe view Pm Full-Sized Patterns: Second Set - Loader S Gree a we DRILL 15764" A © we DRILL 15/64" BIA ®Full-Sized Patterns: Second Set - DozerFull-Sized Patterns: Second Set - Dozer Loader iS ‘ail 7764" ra. inet te 20 aa Tee, & eee ® 1764" Oe free" a C= ae CU mle ‘zea Bt as a |Full-Sized Pattems: Second Set - Excavator fll : a f Es J eesFull-Sized Patterns: Second Set - Excavator 1760 DA 7/64" DIA GD ver oa 17/64" a eeFull-Sized Patterns: Second Set - GraderFull-Sized Patterns: Second Set - Skidder 32 S2 @ / st a J BOTTOM PIECE eet SEE Se Cs anf a on Q) ® 5 u a u | 23/68 Die oe vee aia ~p st eae reFull-Sized Patterns: Second Set - Grapple Skidder 2 on ssi siz on Atti “5 est ost U = TOP.
