dansnow Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) You might recall I showed pictures of my 1930's Road Grader a while back. Well, I have finished the companion Dump Truck, and have the Steam shovel almost ready to for final sanding and finishing. The wheels are not the wheels that will be on the final model, they're just what I had on hand to take the photo. Thanks for looking.

dansnow Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks for the kind words folks! The patterns are a set I purchased from Scroller on Line, called Early Construction Machines. As I mentioned about the grader, the plans are not for beginners. They have issues, dry fitting is a necessity to make sure adjustments to size or shape are not necessary to make thiings fit and function. However I find that part of the fun and the challenge in making these. This is a picture of a scratch built Model C Stakebed that I was commissioned to make as a 90th birthday gift for a fellows Dad. No plans, and the only thing I didn't make were the wheels. penquin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I love the wooden toys. You did a great job on yours. Have you checked out the plans on "Toys and Joys" site. They have some great looking ones. I have not made any though.... yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 My husband collects the books with car patterns in and when he retires that is one of the things he wants to do, make cars etc. I will show him yours when he gets home, he will really like them. I think they are great too. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
