Model Build #2 : WWII Jeep w/ Trailer plus M-3 Antitank Gun 37mm

Well guys I decided to make the WWII Jeep plus a little something extra, a M-3 Antitank Gun 37mm to tow behind the jeep. I Don't have plans so this will be the first model (M-3 Antitank Gun 37mm) I'm going to build this based off of pictures. The model is going to made mostly out of Maple and I will probably use oak for the rims and walnut for some contrast. We will see.

Tony, I'm just wondering, why popular? I haven't built anything with popular. Been trying to use what I have on hand. Curious what your thoughts are on popular.

Check this out when you get ready for tires.

The jig is on the second page.

PS Always love it when a builder isn't afraid to show his miss steps, we can all learn from them.

#4 Over and out!

Model Build #3 : WWII Jeep w/ Trailer plus M-3 Antitank Gun 37mm UPDATE!

I did a little more this weekend. Actually I did a lot. Don't pay attention to the wheels. They are the next thing I'm going to work on, then the 50 cal.

By the way, what should I put on the wood? I have Tung oil, Danish oil and linseed oil. I can't decide.

Well guys its finally here…..The tires. Here is the way I did my tires or shall I say TYRES!
.
.
.

Wood Gas Workbench Hardwood Wooden block

The Wheel Jig

.

Wood Gas Plywood Circle Rectangle

The wheel blanks. The are 2-3/4" wide by 5/8" thick.
.
.
.

Wood Floor Flooring Water Hardwood

Cutting the grooves. Make sure the lines on the guide are lined up or your grooves will be all JACKED up!
.
.
.

Wood Circle Tints and shades Hardwood Ceiling

Cutting the groves on the other side. Make sure you cut in between the grooves you cut earlier.
.
.
.

Food Ingredient Recipe Cuisine Wood

Finished cutting all the grooves for the tires.
.
.
.

Gas Machine Nut Engineering Electric blue

Not its time to cut a 1-1/2" hole with a forstner bit in the wheels. The wheel are 5/8" thick so only cut in 1/2" inch for the rims.
.
.
.

Food Bockwurst Ingredient Cuisine Dish

Time to cut a 1/8" radius on the inside of the tire.

The wheels are done! Now it's time for some sanding.

What a mess. FLOOR SWEEP!

Wood Beige Circle Ingredient Natural material

The rim on the left is made out of cherry, the rim on the right is a store bought tire. I wanted to use cherry for the rims so I turned the rim on the lathe. Not bad for free hand on the lathe.
.
.
.

The fitted rim in the tire. Pretty easy. The rim is 1-1/2" x 5/8"
