General Instructions - Excavator 1- 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 woodbeused, sincemany of theparts wouldbemuch +00 fragile ifusing soft wood. Wehaveused a combination of pine, maple and oak to give the models a nice contrast! Remove the fill-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 size. If drilling isrequired, mark the hole byinserting ascriber ornail through the pattem into the wood, Removethe patter. before drilling, You should have no trouble determining which surface to attach most of the pattems, Some parts, however, canbe confusing since the pattern could fiton more than one surface. The drawings below indicate exactly which surface to attach the patterns for these parts. ‘Look at the full-size drawing sheets to finish paris E5, E12, and E13. PartsE6 and E19 willneed additional cuts and details, please referto the additional information pages, to complete these parts. ‘Using maple dowels, make all pins, shafts, etc. Follow the assembly drawings to complete your model Excavator: General Instructions a7List of materials - Excavator part| T | W | L_ | Meteriai| avy.
