[Allen levine]

4 hours into this one 

sapele for outer layers 

walnut for tires

i I love the way he designed the wheels

used scroll to cut them out them on bandsaw tilting the table to 15 degrees to cut treads

its the small things

all parts came out of cut off bins

still need to make steering wheel dashboard and bumpers 

dowels for axel and smokestacks 
 

used rubber bands for pics to hold together to see progress

Nice work! I did this same one several years ago.. maybe 2013 ish.. Always wanted to make another but never did get to it. I made mine from Walnut and Maple if I remember correctly. It's a fun one and also fairly easy one to make.

not sure about the easy part, but I have to always remember to stack cut any piece up to one inch thick together so when I glue them up they are exact. less sanding and adjusting

He's now getting into Lego sets

my son is 42 and has a Lego room in his house 

he buys plastic display cases to keep his most favored set ups like roller coasters from legos

He loves building sets with his nephew and teaching him

That sure is mighty fine.

Finished 

im not thrilled with the seam in the center of the two body parts but my 4 year old grandson won't notice and I know he's going to ask me for more
