Prime Mover

[Dalboy]

Except for my lay up through health problems you may have noticed the lack of projects from me well this is what I have been working on.

The completed Prime mover is now finished. This took longer than expected due to the health problems, but I was not going to give in. I had a rough count and I think there are 9 or 10 different woods in the build. I did not want to use any stains or paints that is why I use as many different coloured woods where I can.

Don't ask how long it took as I don't keep a record of that side of things. I enjoyed the build and just have to say the glue on the wheels has not even dried when I took the photo's. I hope I have managed to get as much in as possible with the photo's

It measures 15 3/4" long X 5 1/2" wide X 7 3/4" to the top of the stacks

No trailer. It has already been spoken for when I was half way through the build but it is hard to tell the great-grandson that it is not his as he sees it every time they visit.

Now comes the fun and games sorting out all the photo's and doing the write up, sending copies to the mag backwards and forwards until it is correct spotting all the mistakes I made
