    Default Cab Over Truck & Trailer

    G'day Fellow woodies

    Here's a couple of Norm Marshall's designs I've just completed - a Cab Over truck and Flatbed Trailer. I followed the instructions in his book - Great Book of Wooden Toys. Very easy and lots of fun.

    I just bought standard radiata pine pieces from the big green and red shed to put together. And I cut the wheels with a hole saw and forstner bit on the drill press.

    I have not treated the truck & trailer with any finish at this stage as I have not decided what to use at this point.

    The book contains a number of other projects that I will have a go at.

    Cheers.
    Ray

    G'day & Welcome to a top forum Ray,
    You've certainly done a top job on your Norm Marshall Truck & Trailer Combination.
    Love the few personal touches, looks great.
    You'll find a stack of inspiration from some helpful blokes & ladies on the forum.
    Looking forward to seeing more of you craftsmanship in the future.
    Cheers, Crowie

    PS - I see it's a USA design truck [Left Hand Drive]

    Great Job Ray! Welcome to the forums.
    Plus 1 on the left hand steering wheel. Which toys from the book do you have in mind next?

    Nice truck. I like the load of logs. I have made 1 truck so far and I used a wipe on poly.

    Nice work, looks like a real fun truck.
    Reality is no background music.
