Popular Post daveww1 Posted September 6, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I bought a plan from Gratto toy plans and made the truck with a few changes to the plan. I used poplar, walnut and many round toothpicks for the many small parts. It took the use of the table saw, miter saw, scroll saw, lathe, drill press , jointer, planer and drum sander along with many hand tools to complete it. jbrowning, Dan, lawson56 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
