Popular Post heppnerguy Posted March 16, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I found this pattern on Etsy and just had to give it a try. So I purchased it and posted it on Facebook and I am now making one from an order. I loved the detail in it and wondered if it was something I could do. This one was a learning experience for me and the new one I am making is going along a little easier then this one was. If anyone is interested in purchasing this pattern, you can get it from Lloyds woodworking plans on Etsy. It is a download and has 26 pages. I enjoyed making it and I will be making one of these for myself and maybe a Christmas or birthday present for a friend or family member as well. I hope you like it as much as I did making it. I am not much for wooden toys do to the lack of detail in most of them. This on is more of a model then a toy and it caught my interest, right away.

I am making a few changes the one I am making now and it should be a little better. After making the first one, I have learned a couple of changes and it also seems to go together easier also.

kmmcrafts Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I just bought this design and the Ford Bronco he has. My brother will love the Harley. Now, I'm exited to make it, do I cut the order I have or cheat and cut this. Probably need to put my new planer together first since all my wood stock is 1" ... well dang it.. I'm going to cut this someday for sure, because I paid for the pattern... I've never bought a pattern that I never intended to cut.. but do have patterns I purchased years ago and still planning to cut them.. I'm just supporting the designers yeah that's it.. I'm supporting the designers.. I really do hope to cut this in the next couple weeks.. but we'll see how reality set's in and what actually happens. I'll post it when it's done. heppnerguy and Gene Howe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I should have studied the plans better, I now realize the colors / wood species I was cutting was backwards of what I wanted, LOL.. I quit cutting because I have a order to make now.. and trying to decide how I want to go forward with it. Tempted to just cut it all out of maple and put it together so I have a better understanding of what wood to use where.. I wanted to do contrasting colors using different wood but that always messes with my mind.. Gene Howe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is an interesting and fun piece to make and after the first one it goes a lot faster. Dick heppnerguy kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
