Wooden Toy Truck Martin Motors Antique Car Carrier Build Part 11 Finishing With Shellac

Wooden Toy Truck Martin Motors Antique Car Carrier Parts: After applying a coat of shellac, I hang the parts from a copper wire and wait for the shellac to cure before sanding them again.
After applying a coat of shellac, I hang the parts on a copper wire and wait for the shellac to cure before sanding them again.

After the first sanding I apply several coats of clear shellac. I like using shellac. It cures rapidly, and I can get a beautiful finish with it. Shellac is food-safe and hypoallergenic. It is used as a coating for many foods, so children chewing on it is not an issue. While not as durable as some synthetic finishes, it's easily repairable. I am using a dewaxed clear shellac, also known as Sealcoat, for the truck and car bodies. I use pieces of copper wire to form hangers and hang the parts until they are cured enough to sand and apply the second coat. These are hanging on the front rail of my Shopsmith.

A handmade wooden dragon I made in my shop using traditional woodworking tools from 100% select hardwoods and hand-finished with a blend of mineral oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax that I apply hot for deep penetration and durability.

I have made multiple dragons using the plans as a guide, but I noticed that the design could be enhanced. I made a few changes to improve its appearance and increase its durability. Instead of drilling decorative holes, I created inlays that look better and make the neck stronger.

Wooden Toy Truck Martin Motors Antique Car Carrier Build Part 10 Ready To Sand

Handmade wooden toy truck, Martin Motors antique car carrier. All parts are cut and ready for pattern removal and sanding.
Handmade wooden toy truck, Martin Motors antique car carrier. All parts are cut and ready for pattern removal and sanding.

All of the parts are cut. Before I remove the patterns, I like to true up any spots on the edges that need it. I use a belt sander (6-inch and one-inch wide belts) for the flat areas and outside curves, a rotary tool, hand sanding, and sometimes files for tight inside curves. I have an oscillating spindle sander, but the smallest radius it can sand is 1/2 inch. Once this is done, I remove patterns and sand the sides. Leaving the patterns in place while sanding the edges helps me to detect flaws and not overshoot the edges of the pattern. Since these are cut on a scroll saw, the edge sanding at this point is more of a shaping operation than smoothing.

Gnome Couple Ready For Sanding and Finishing

I cut these using my Excalibur Ex-21 scroll saw from plywood and glued all the pieces together. They make a cute Christmas tree ornament but are free-standing and can be displayed anywhere on a flat surface. This couple will be finished with shellac, but they could be painted. Painting is more complicated and time-consuming, so I don't want to do that. If you want to purchase a pair of gnomes, contact me through my shop and place a custom order. Size and finish will determine pricing.

Wooden Toy Truck Martin Motors Antique Car Carrier Build Part 9 The Tuck Bed

The tuck bed freshly cut with the pattern still attached sitting on my scrollsaw.

The tuck bed freshly cut with the pattern still attached sitting on my scrollsaw.

This is the trailer for the Martin Motors Antique Car Carrier. The pattern had to be printed on two pages and spliced together, which presents a problem as it prevents the solvent from removing the glue under the tape I use to hold the pattern to the wood. The long and straight cuts are the most challenging part of cutting the trailer, and it's easy to go off the lines if you get distracted. If this happens, it may not be fixable if you go too far in the wrong direction. I could cut outside the line and sand to the line, but at that point, I might as well be using a bandsaw.
