legs in the side view first. Then go to the front view and cut between the legs. Finish the front view by cutting around the rest of the body. Fig. 2 shows the front view sawing in progress. Use care in turning at the end of the horns. Put masking tape over the saw cuts on the front and back of the saw block to hold the loose piece in place. Go back to the side view to finish sawing the ox body.

Make sure you keep a straight line at the upper back end of the body so there will be a flat area where the tail will be glued on. Cut and sand the end of the saw block square again and do the second ox body.

Place the paper pattern block for the tails on the saw block with the bottom of the tails at the end of the saw block as seen in Fig. 1. When cutting the tails, saw the front (rear) view first. Tape the front and back of the saw block and go to the side view cutting. Note: there are two tails in the side view so both ox tails can be completed with one sawing operation. Use care in cutting the flat areas where the tails will be glued to the ox bodies.

After cutting the first tail in the side view, stop and add more tape to keep all the little pieces in place. Continue cutting the second tail. Carefully remove the tape and the tails will come free from the saw block. The ox bodies and tails are shown in Fig. 1 as they look after sawing. Cut and sand the end of the saw block square again so the seat can be made from the same saw block.

For the wagon seat, place the patterns on the block with the bottom of the seat at the end of the saw block. Start with the front view and cut out the material from between the sides at the bottom of the seat first. Next, do the side view and tape the block. Finish with the rest of the front view cutting. Starting at the front of the seat will make the final cut down the back side easier.

For the wagon body, place the patterns on the block with the axles at the end of the saw block as seen in Fig. 1. Cut

out the material from between the axles in the side view first. Then do the front view. Be very careful to keep the cuts for the sides straight and parallel to form each side of the body. When sawing down the second side, go very slow as you get near the top of the axle. When you get to the top of the axle, there is suddenly much less wood for the blade to cut and it can quickly saw into the top of the axle if you are pushing hard to make the cut. (This is the area where the material was earlier cut from between the axles.)

Tape the block and go back to the side view cutting. Note: there is no extra material at the front or back of the wagon body. This was done to keep the block size smaller and make the greater depth of cut in the front view easier to do. The first step is to cut away the little piece in front of the front axle. Put a new piece of tape over what was cut away to keep the main piece in the saw block in place. Next, cut away the little piece behind the back axle and add another small piece of tape. Cut out the triangular piece behind the sides and above the back axle next. Finally, cut across the top, down to the floor and out to the front to complete the side view sawing. Fig. 1 shows all the items after the 3-D sawing has been completed.

Use fingernail clippers to cut the sharp ends off of a round toothpick for the wagon tongue. Drill a hole, which matches the diameter of the round tooth pick, for the wagon tongue in the middle of the front axle as shown in the pattern drawing. Use an awl to make a starter hole for the drill bit. The hole needs to have a slight upward slope so the front end of the tongue can be at the middle of the bellies of the oxen and will match the harness collars. This can be seen in the photo of the finished project.
