Very nice, Dan,

Great looking pick up truck!

You know you are definitely talented enough to scroll some 2" wheels but,

don't you have a set of hole saws?

These sets are reasonably priced http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=hole+saw

and the pilot hole is just right for 1/4" dowels rod axels.

Anyway, once again, great work!

Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Thanks Bob. I do have a set of hole saws. I saw a video YouTube of a guy that makes them with a Forstner bit and hole saw. The wheels come out looking pretty good. I may try some like that so I can use different woods.

I got my patterns from Winfield last week. This is one of the first vehicles I made.

The patterns are for 2" wheels but all I currently have are 3/4" wheels. So I reduced the pattern and cut this. It's ash and walnut. I have 2" wheels on the way. My grandson now has a small collection of wooden cars and trucks.

Good looking toys,keep them coming!

Very playable and still artistic. Very good work!

 

Making toys also gives you an excuse to play with them!
