Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
wheels look good , you don't need fancy tools to make nice stuff . I started with an antique lathe from WW1 a ratty drill press and a dremel Don't get me wrong CNC is cool but there are days I miss just cranking hand wheels

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
I agree ihbuilder But I didn't find any ww1 lathe anywhere!
Seriously, I also think that the tool doesn't make the job by itself and a good builder can do incredible thing with very few tools. Many threads on this forum prove it. Unfortunatly I never tried a manual milling, cnc is my first experience with milling but I can understand what you mean by "crankink hand wheels" whe I'm using my manual lathe, and it's effectively a good feeling of working really on the stuff, more than via a computer! But cnc also help to make some shape easier, mostly for a newbie Thanks a lot Big John!! I hope the results will worth it Gaetan

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
Truck looks awsome!! Nice job! One of Brian-in Pa's grills would really put it over the top.

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
this is a cool build and a great job on your part on the detail work and the little stuff that someone may over look the first time they look at the build thread and a nice job on the wheels!

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
Thanks for comments guys!
Gun, Thanks! I was completely newbie when I started that build but completely addicted since that. It explain for a part that long sequence of build/unbuild... and some scales errors too But with time and the ideas found here, it's coming not too bad... Also thanks to you Borenson, let me see what to do with that grill (effectively, it must be update ). Ih, your loader is a piece of art! I'm out of the forum sometimes and I missed the "discussion" about your axles I stay tuned now The inner rear wheels must be ready soon, if I can find some times in the next few days Gaetan

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
Hi everyone!
I don't have big changes on my truck these last months, mostly because acquiring machining skills took most of my hobby times! But just to say that I'm still there, there's some pics of my lasts evolutions. It's only a preassembly, many thing must be rearranged (alu sidings don't look as I want, for example ), but it show how I want it to look. I'm stuck for at least two weeks now since I broke my belt lathe, while I was machining my new tanks Last things I added were rear wheels of the tractor, the steps and air tanks, strech a bit the wheel base, the rear frame parts and bumber, and the fuel tanks I'm working on actually. The alu siding will be change for a better look and a better adjustment. Thanks for viewing Gaetan

Your truck is Sweet! Where did you get the tapered end for the rails? Did you make them? Love your trailers

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
Thanks guys!
Yes Dabears, I made the tapered ends. I considered first to use the Knight Hauler ones (in plastic), and finally made them in alu for a better support of the rear shocks... A new paint job of the frame should be done soon, including these parts (except the light plate for sure ).

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
Hi gys,
Here's my last add-on. Needs more polish and strap adjusments, and go for frame painting... Thanks for viewing

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
VERY nice work there. Looking at all of the tasty parts that people churn out with a mill, makes me really want one myself!

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
Thanks a lot guys!
As you know it's my first build and I learn each days, so it's a great pleasure to receive your comments! Next steps should be a new exhaust cover, new frame paint and a first real mounting of new parts on it. Swagger, milling is really a great world to discover, but it's also (well... for me, at least ) some challenge... Don't hesistate if you have any question ! Not necessarely easy, but rewarding if your goal is to make specifics things you want...

Re: My steel coils B-train hauler
Thanks B-Train! I would need a workshop and money before I could even consider a mill though, but someday, I would love to get one. I did engineering many years ago in school and was pretty handy with a lathe and mill back then, so hopefully, some of that would come back over time.
