    These old Toys and Joys plans are so simple and a joy to build.
    They have their hard parts but they're big enough that it's not a problem, plus since I don't have that much time in them I don't mind giving them away like some of the more complicated builds that I've fried my brain to get done.
    Just my $.02

    The Ford is looking very good Bruce.
    On the smaller dowels for the wheels, could you go down to say 3/16” dia??

    Here she is just about done.
    I Ebonized the project to hide the green poplar it was made with, came out a little dark but not to bad.
    The fenders and rims are maple so came out a little blacker which works out nicely.
    The only thing I don't like about ebonizing is it being water based it raises the grain so have to sand after the treatment.

    Have you tried using bamboo skewers? I find that they make terrific dowells for small projects, and they have a lot of strength. Not sure about how they take a stain though.
    Love your work.

    Dalboy Summer is on it's way so have been insulating the shed so my small air conditioner can do some good.
    Couple hours work and a day to get over it, sad but true.
    Been looking for a project that catches my interest but so far no joy in mud ville.

    I know that feeling i took down a tree yesterday and it took all day years ago I would have completed the job in a couple of hours the up side is that there is a nice rootball on it which will make a great piece of turning.
    Anyway I certainly will be looking forward to your next build whatever it is

    Might be an all day affair to do what used to take a couple of hours BUT the killer is the weeks recovery..
