Dear Phonolisters:
I haven't seen any reply to my query about whether anyone has reproduced a

has, but I am worried that my posting never made it out to the list for
everyone to see.

As we digress, I own a Model T. Holds 4 quarts of oil. To change the oil you
add 4 quarts, 2 quarts leak out immediately, add another three. When the
leaking stops you will have 4 quarts in the car.
The road is never dusty, that why in a Model T you can't make dust or eat
dust.

You like the "Old Cranky" part of the Model T, which I love as well... they are
my favorite Fords, along with the 1934 Bonnie & Clyde models. Model T's fit
right in with crank phonographs - simple, dependable and bulletproof.

Don't forget the ultra scarce TB either. Those are 19" wire wheels and

Forgot the TB's - you just never see them. Another car which I really like is
an American Austin.

I drove a proto-jag, the Swallow Sidecar SS-100, years ago. Cute as a button,
albeit rather agricultural.
And with cable-actuated brakes...you apply them, and nothing happens. You press

Most interesting, and thanks for sharing! Question: It appears that you were working on an enclosed porch. Does the
process produce stinky or dangerous fumes? I'm wondering if it's something that could be done in a basement without
endangering the rest of the house

Melted wax can be highly flammable so you wouldn't want that inside your
home. Although I'm sure someone has tried to do a deep fried turkey over a
propane burner in their house at one time or another.

It never ceases to amaze me what I learn on this list. I had never heard of
using brake fluid to soften brittle rubber parts. It makes sense though...
Thank you for the tip Bill.

Those are interesting videos, but not long enough. How about something that
shows the entire process? What type of molds do you use - are they custom made,
or originals?
