G'Day "oneye", Another fleet of good looking trucks ready for sale.....
The design is simple & strong ready for the rough & tumble of many hours of play.
They look like store bought wheels?
I've seen that pattern before; who's plan is it please?
And if you don't mind me asking, what sort of price do you get for them at the craft market, please?
Cheers, crowie

G'Day Woodmanoz,
I've bought them in bulk for Texas from Woodworks Ltd, great pricing & fair shipping costs. Wood Craft Products - Wooden Shaker Pegs, Balls, Wood Toy Wheels
They were recommended by one of our USA toymakers and I've had good experiences on 3 orders thus far.
I'm not sure who "oneye" gets his wheels from, but the USA has a heap of wooden toy wheel suppliers.
We only have a few in Australia and they are quite expensive from my investigations.
Cheers, crowie

The trucks are finished no decals.
I bought the plans from Wood magazine but i have seen them from other places now.
I normally buy the wheels from caseyswood.com sometimes elsewhere.
It depends who has the best price on 500 at the time.
I sell them at $15.
The plans have a fleet of toys when i finish them all i will post pics of them all.

Thought i had sold out of dump trucks and tankers.
Found one of each.
Here is the rest of the toys with the plan.

Nice trucks. simple but really nice. making the wheels yourself is not really difficult but guess if you are making a heap of toys needing wheels, it would be a full on job.
Reality is no background music.
