How To Make a Wooden Toy Train Locomotive | Wooden Miniature - Wooden Creations

Hi everyone!
In this video I'l show you how to make a wooden toy train locomotive. It's a simple woodworking project for beginners to start with. It's an easy woodworking project. The wagons will show up later! Stay tuned!
Edit: The video says 'for charity' but I decided that it takes to much time to make a train, so I'll make other toys for charity!

Another masterpiece from our woodworking queen :) I love your CA & glue combo technique. Adopted it for my work as well... A very smart and innovative way to make quick bonds...

[@JolienBrebels]

Haha, thank you very much! I'm glad you learned something from my video!

[@tynguyenvan7831]

video is useful. Let me ask you what software to use to create the picture. Only steps are not in the mailbox [e-mail]

[@augustobarrios9441]

Beautifully done!

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you so much!

[@gazzyw85]

Great job on this build, it looks super!! im a novice woodworker and was looking for inspiration for a train advent calender for my son and this did the trick. Im going to put the "doors" in some carriages for each day leading upto xmas

[@JolienBrebels]

Hello, that's great! I'm happy I could be an inspiration for you! If you want the cuttinglist you can send me an email at [e-mail] and send me a picture if you are done ;)

[@hamedgol7363]

I'm so fascinated by your art, well done girl.

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you very much!!

[@johnlepage1719]

Thank you very much.

[@cat02791]

I read your comment on some one channel.. That you wich to have a wooden lathe to make some bowl. And I think you got it all you don't need a lathe. You are perfect.. Really nice job.

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you very much! That's very kind of you to say. But I'm still wishing to have a lathe one day haha :D

[@estrelladelanoche2747]

Excelente bonito trabajo.. Felicitaciones por tu aporte.. Que nunca muera el juguete de madera.. Saludos desde CHILE..

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you very much! I will continue making wooden toys!

[@MrLeonard55]

I like how you used different types of wood. It looks strong and not overcomplicated. Kids will love them. You produce very good videos. ;)

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you very much!

[@adgoossens9304]

Nice locomotive, some kid will be very happy with it.

[@JolienBrebels]

Thanks Ad! Hope so :D

[@bobross425]

Very nice. I know a young child will love your train and other wood toys.

[@JolienBrebels]

Thanks a lot !

[@NikosDIY]

Super equipped shop! Great idea with the super glue to avoid clamping (not sure if it is as strong though). Choo-Choo...!

[@JolienBrebels]

Thanks! Yes, I'm happy with my shop, but you never have enough or the right tools haha. Well yes, it's more to avoid slipping, I also clamp my pieces, but don't show that much in my videos.

[@DaveHarshberger]

Well done. It's great that you're making such nice things for charity.

[@JolienBrebels]

Thanks for the compliment :). Gave away my 70 toys yesterday, and it's great to see the kids faces!

[@BruceChastain]

really nice. You shop looks very professional with big sturdy machines.

[@JolienBrebels]

Well yes, I am happy with the machines I have :). Thanks Bruce! Gonna mail you back today!

[@AOBiWorkshop]

This is a really nice looking toy engine.The different woods add a neat color to it when the mineral oil is applied. I subscribed about a week ago and I look forward to watching more tutorials from you.

[@ianhannah6543]

This is my first project and it’s for my boy. Looks awesome I’ve realised that you mention two different wheel sizes. Am I missing some instructions as I didn’t see any specs for the actual wheels only the boiler? Guessing the height of the big wheel axel is giving me cold sweats. I don’t want my train to rock on the middle axel. Keep up the good work Ian

[@JolienBrebels]

Thanks Ian. I think I was using 2 different wheel sizes. The ones from the boiler are the same as the bigger wheels I think. Here is my instructables about it www.instructables.com/id/Wooden-Train-With-Wagons/ You should make a few extra base pieces so you can test-drill so it will not rock on the middle axle.

[@yuriybukovskiy449]

Nice work, Jolien. Looks great!

This looks awesome! Good work 🙌 what program did you use for the sketch?

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you so much! I used Google Sketchup to do it

[@user-fw1mm3gf5v]

You're very talented! Keep it up!!

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you so much! You're watching an older video, you have a lot of videos to catch up :)

[@user-fw1mm3gf5v]

@@JolienBrebels Still, ma'am. This is incredible!

[@steinie44]

Is that a thread die used to make the dowel? Clever.

[@JolienBrebels]

Yes indeed! It works pretty fine if you make your stick the right thickness, close enough to the diameter of the dowel!

What is that amazing all-in-one machine you are using? I need that in my life.

Hey, it's really awesome :D. It's a combinationmachine!

Thank you!

[@ggittins4097]

Very cute train :) What was the clear stuff you added with the glue?

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you very much! I use woodglue in combination with superglue!

[@jorgenlannock]

de kindjes zullen weer blij zijn. nu nog wagonnetjes :D

[@JolienBrebels]

Denk niet dat er heel veel treinen geproduceerd worden, aangezien het nogal een tijdrovend proces is :). En de wagonnetjes komen eraan!

[@jorgenlannock]

haha, ja, dat is een feit, er zit veel detailwerk in. of je kan er maken uit minder onderdelen op een bandzaag als je deze hebt. groetjes

[@pyracantha5548]

Thank you so much for the train, I have just made the engine for my grandsons birthday, carriages next. Could I ask what exactly is that little tool in your vice for creating dowels. I would love to get hold of one.

[@JolienBrebels]

Oh that's fantastic! Great to hear! I'm using a threaded cussion, www.dehaye.com/special/taraudssp%C3%A9ciaux.JPG like this

[@dannyvercruyssen194]

is dit een combinatie van secondelijm en houtlijm trouwens weer een leuk projectje superrrrrrrrrr :-)

[@JolienBrebels]

Dankjewel Danny!! Ja inderdaad, combinatie van secondelijm en houtlijm! Handig voor tegen het verschuiven! Ze zeggen weleens dat je ook wat zout kan strooien, maar heb ik nog steeds niet geprobeerd. Moet ik maar eens doen misschien. Dankjewel voor het kijken!!

[@dannyvercruyssen194]

Jolien Brebels ik heb een FB PAGINA DV-RECUP ik maar spulletjes van recuphout 😉 maar ben maar een leek

[@ianhannah6543]

I’ve decided to make this design it looks great so far thanks to your tutorial. I now need to buy some mineral oil to finish off the project but wood oils are a minefield. Which oil do I need to buy from Bauhaus Germany?

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you! I don't know for Germany, I live in Belgium. I'm using mineral oil / paraffin oil

[@ianhannah6543]

Great that’s good to know about the Paraffin oil. I put a search in about mineral oil and just got loads of hit about motor oil.

hi Jolien, what simple cad program is best for simple toys?

[@JolienBrebels]

For this train I used google sketch up

[@franrabideau8838]

Great video. Doesn't say how wide the sidepanels are tho. Just how tall. 6cm

[@JolienBrebels]

Thanks! I'm sorry, they are 4cm wide! Greetings

Thanks. :)

[@daniellittleton6224]

I love this train and your rail cars to go along with it. do you happen to have a pdf downloadable/ printable file of the measurements for this? I would love to make it.

[@JolienBrebels]

Hey, I don't have it. You can see the dimensions in the video. If you really want I could make a PDF file with the measurements.

[@daniellittleton6224]

Jolien Brebels if you have the spare time I would love that. But do not worry about it if it's any trouble.

[@JolienBrebels]

Hm okay, than I would say check the video a few times for the dimensions :D. For my future projects I will make a dimensionslist or something like that!

[@JolienBrebels]

Hey Daniel, if you want to I can send you the cuttinglist. I've made one of the train. If I'm not too late? :)

[@daniellittleton6224]

Jolien Brebels a year later I want her this video again and came upon my comment that I had forgotten I posted. :) I’d love the cut list. I had made a wooden train for my nephew a while back and he loved it!! Such fun toys.

[@cipriutzzz87]

Hey there, you got me into a "i won t give up until I make this train for my son" state :) I am kinda new to this and don't have all the fancy machines you have. Do you think i can put it together with just a jigsaw and a drill?

[@JolienBrebels]

Haha that's great to hear! You can definitely make it for your son without the fancy tools! It's possible to make it with only a jigsaw if you use wood with the right thickness from the beginning. And if you buy your own dowels for the axles. Just give it a try I should say! And keep me up to date :)

[@cipriutzzz87]

I will send you a picture when is done . :)

[@cipriutzzz87]

Maybe is not that important but could you tell me what thickness are the wheels?

[@JolienBrebels]

Great! The thickness of the wheels is 1cm. Good luck!!

[@cipriutzzz87]

Hey Jolien . I managed to cut all the pieces the wright size today. :) I got stucked at the axles though.... i can't buy them because nobody sells them around where I live. So that leaves me with 2 options : 1 - I buy a vice and a tap and die set and start making them or 2 - I have in the garage some stainless steel bars 6 and 8 mm . Can I use them instead of wood? and if yes does the wood glue work fine with wood+metal combination ? Thank's for making the time to help :)

[@bharatlalbairwa6607]

Hii

[@Mosaic54]

How is this for beginners? "you only need some wood and about $6k worth of tools", bloody hell. Great build but come on, be realistic with the description.

[@JolienBrebels]

Thanks for watching! I understand your criticism

[@thegreypenguin5097]

U could always just make simpler locomotives for charity

[@JolienBrebels]

Hey, that's true :). But it requires a lot of wheels to make one kid happy if you make a train. If I make a car with just 4 wheels, I can make more kids happy.

[@rayatlast]

Nice

[@JolienBrebels]

Thank you!
