Dan Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Posted February 6, 2016 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. Quote
amazingkevin Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 I got my patterns from Winfield last week. This is one of the first vehicles I made. 20160204_133202.jpg 20160204_133212.jpg 20160204_133223.jpg 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! Quote
rjR Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 Very playable and still artistic. Very good work! Making toys also gives you an excuse to play with them! RESEARCH and DEVELOPMENT Procedures are important in any manufacturing industry! Quote
rdatelle Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 Nice job Dan, I have a few of those trucks myself. Quote
