Crafts August 2002 INSTRUCTIONS The tank body and turret Size your stock (including the dowels) to the dimensions indicated in the supplies list. Referring to the Tank Plan View Drawings, tilt the miter saw head to 40 degrees and make a cut at each end of the top piece. With the saw still set to 40 degrees, cut the turret to size. Tilt the saw head to 22 degrees and cut the bottom piece. Bore the holes for the axle pins, the pivot dowel, and the gun barrel. Referring to the Tank Assembly Drawing, laminate the top and bottom piece together with carpenter's glue. The top piece will overlap the bottom piece by 3/4" on both sides. Wipe off any excess glue that has squeezed out and clamp together until the glue sets. Glue the pivot dowel into the l/2"-Dia. hole in the top piece, and the gun barrel in place on the turret. The wheels Cutting the wheels is the most time consuming part of this project. Locate the center of each of the ten wheels on the selected stock. First bore a 3/4"-Dia. hole 1/2" deep with the Forstner bit as shown in the Plan View Drawing. Next mount your 2M-Dia. hole saw in the drill press and slowly lower the saw into the work p'ece on the same center used for the Forstner bit. Do not drill all the way through the wood, allow the wheel to remain attached. Cut all the wheels (including those for the jeep and howitzer gun) in this manner. Finally finish cutting them out with your scroll saw, band saw, or coping saw. Sand the wheels. Final assembly and finishing Sand all surfaces smooth. Referring to the Tank Assembly Drawing, attach the wheels using the 3/8"-Dia. axle pins. Paint your tank as desired. Note: do not paint the pivot dowel or the hole in the turret, this will allow it to rotate freely. continued on page 28 Tools needed for the Battle Tank With Rotating Turret, Jeep, and Howitzer Gun Power miter saw; scroll saw, band saw, or coping saw; drill press with 3/4"-Dia.
