Türkiyeden sevgiler saygılar. sizi severek takip ediyorum. çok iyi bir ustasınız. Allah a emanet olun.
Thank you for the kind words and for tuning in to the show. It is very much appreciated.
Having just built two F1 cars and a tractor trailer for my grand son I fully understand the joy you had building it. Giving it is even better!
I'm glad that you sent me the photos of that build Bob. Your project was fantastic and looks great. Thanks for tuning in to the show this week.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I only miss when it’s not possible to log on!
Thanks for your toy video & plans. I love these toy building episodes.
Glad that you like the Caroline. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
this is a great project! Our first grandspn was just born,this and your other toy builds will be taking up most of my shop time come spring! thanks for the ideas and plans!
I'm glad that you like them Kevin and I hope your grandson will enjoy playing with them. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
Thank you for the pattern
They turned out GREAT
1 addition is required for grandsons magnets front and back for towing...
Who knew
Cheers
Sounds like a fantastic modifications Tom. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your comment. It's very much appreciated.
Kenny I have to chuckle when I watch your videos ….. your enthusiasm is contagious 🤠. When I first opened the video, I said to myself “wouldn’t it be neat to engrave the tires” and you did not let me down! The only thing I would even consider changing would be to make the rear wing as wide as the rear wheel base, to make it as accurate as the rest of your model. Great work Kenny this is a keeper 👍🤠
Thanks for the kind words and for the suggestion Randy. This was a fun one to design but a little bit of a challenge because I don't know much about F1 vehicles. Thanks for tuning in .
Another GREAT project to do with the grandkids! As always.. Thank you!
Glad that you liked it Dennis. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
Bom dia. Eu acompanho seus projetos. Sou aqui do Brasil. Parabéns pelas ideias. Sou um inscrito seu. Abraços. Francisco.
Glad to have you as a subscriber Francisco. I hope you enjoy the show. Thank you for tuning in.
Absolutely fantastic, I wanna be a kid again ... and I smile when I hear your absolute delight when working on something like this 😁
The use of stick on paper templates to help make the parts makes it so much easier for anyone to attempt this ... well as long as they have a printer (makes note, need to buy printer) 👍
Whatever method works for you Barry is just fine for this project. There is always more than one way to do things. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
Kenny, Thanks for the pattern. It was a fun build!!
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
You’re a wizard Kenny! Great design
Thanks for the kind words Alan. I appreciate you tuning in to the show.
Thank you. Enjoy the videos and appreciate the plans. Happy holidays.
Glad that you liked them Sean. Thanks for tuning in and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Kenny, great build!!! I assume you know that if you stuck a model battery in it you would have a Formula E racer…the electric version of an F1 racer. Your granddaughter is going to have a great time zooming the car across the floor.
You have no idea how much this F1 car races around my house Paul. She loves it way more than I thought she would. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for chiming in with your comment. It's very much appreciated.
@@acutabove_woodworkings The downside of the E racer version is that you’d lose the classic “WOODEN-WOODEN” sound when it revs up! (Sorry! I couldn’t help myself….) . The most important thing to remember when doing this project: Racecar spelled backwards is Racecar! Ok. I’m leaving……. Great project as always Kenny!
Fun project and video. Thanks for sharing the plans.
Glad that you liked it Rafael. Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in to the show.
EXCELENTE
Glad that you liked it. Thank you for tuning in.
Not only do I like the car design, I like the process you explained and used. I actually own the right tools to make an F1 Race Car. I haven't drawn up a plan for one yet, but I have designed a midget race car toy. I have thought about it! Have you ever checked out Micro-Mark? They sell micro type tools for all kinds of model building. Even small bench size power tools. I own a few of their hand tools and measuring and centering tools as well. Great quality! Enjoyed, take care!
I've never looked into Micro-mark Michael. I may have to have a look. Thanks for tuning in to the show and chiming in with the suggestion. I look forward to your comments on the show each week.
I absolutely love how you added the laser work to the tires.
I just noticed that the plans for the car aren't on the site yet.
They were placed on the site last night at about 10pm Jim. Have another look. You may have overlooked them. Let me know if you have any issues. Thanks for tuning in.
@@acutabove_woodworkings It's working for me now. Yesterday, for some reason I could only see a small fraction of the plans that you had posted. I need to either get my computer checked or my eyes checked. Thanks!
Geez Kenny, with all your great project ideas and the ones that Doug Linker comes up with I might have to retire early to keep up 😀. 👍🏻
I'm going to have to take your word for that as I have no idea who Doug Linker is. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for chiming in with your comment.
@@acutabove_woodworkings You have to check out Doug’s channel! Kind of a different facet of woodworking than what you do, but enjoyable nonetheless! Your channel and his are two of my most frequently watched! Watch vid, run to shop & build, repeat!
@@acutabove_woodworkings Fair enough 😎 Although Doug is a well known fellow Canadian who excels at carving figurines with knives and chisels.
@@MrSteamDragon Sounds interesting. I will have to look him up and check out his channel. Thanks for the information.
That looks amazing, would you think of using the "inside" of the windscreen for the bottom of the cockpit?
That would definitely be an option Mark. It might need a little shaping to get it to fit properly but it's definitely a great idea. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your suggestion.
Really love this! And my grandkids are going to love this! You do such an awesome designs for toys! Question are you able to share the file for the good year on the tires? Is it SVG?
I can definitely share the GoodYear file with you Julie. I have just the words in an SVG file that I made and I have the full engraving file with the GoodYear symbol and the words in a Lightburn project. You can always email me if you'd like either of those. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
This is great. I love the simple wood toys you create. If this were to be painted, what kind or type of paint is used on wood toys? I see kids toys, blocks and such, painted but didnt know with what paint.
I have used everything from latex paint to oil based paints such as Tremclad. As long as the paint is completely dry, it is fine for the child to play with. I hope this helps Scott. Thanks for tuning in.
Where can I get the plans for this. I really enjoy making toys for my grandkids. Love this car.
You can either email me Bob, or you can visit my website at acutabovewoodworkings.com and click on the free pattern section. All of the patterns that I offer on the show are available there. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great video! Is that just dipping a q-tip in water to clean the squeeze-out?
And do the plastic washers reduce wheel friction?
Yes. It's just water and a Q-tip. Works great and I've done it for years. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in Christopher.
The plastic washers do a couple of things. They keep the wheels from binding up because the stop the tire from coming in contact with the body of the toy. They also help to prevent the wearing down of the wheels and reduce friction. (also by keeping the wheels from coming in contact with the toy's body). I hope this helps.
Got it, thanks!
Hi Kenny, sorry mate just catching up on your videos, somehow this one seemed to go fast🤣
LOL. That's just the nature of this type of build Philip. One minute you're watching the intro and then WHAM, the show is over. I should scroll a snail picture. That show would probably be very slow paced. LOL. Thanks for tuning in
I need help. Found a 2011 ex16 for $250. I'm looking at it soon. Wondering what to look for. Stripped blade clamp is about all I know that's common with these. Any help would be great. Thank you. Also...$250 too much?
$250 is a fair price for a used EX-16. There really isn't much to check on the saw as a scroll saw's features are usually minimal. As you stated, remove the blade retaining screws and make sure that they are not stripped or worn. Make sure that the saw runs and runs smoothly. Test the variable speed control to ensure that it is functioning. Check the saw for physical damage. I scroll saw is not susceptible to heavy use so any physical damage on the saw is usually an indication that the saw has been abused or dropped and this can affect its operation. Check to make sure that the top arm lifts and lowers. It may be stiff and that's okay as you can adjust it later. Check the motor tilting mechanism and make sure that it runs smoothly. While the saw is running, with nothing being cut, it should be fairly smooth with little vibrations. Heavy vibrations at this stage is an indication that the saw has been damaged in some way. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in and good luck with your saw purchase.
@acutabove_woodworkings thank you so much for the prompt response. Held a lot.
