Wooden Toy Train from a Makita Plan
G'Day All and thanks to Matador.
I have today finished the "Wooden Train" modelled on the makita plans sent to me by Matador.
I had fun making it, used wheels from my Rockler order [bit small but work okay], except the big ones on the train.
I found a 60mm wheel cutter I'd bought years ago and had a go; got to select the timber carefully for the wheels with the cutter, come up okay.
I painted the train & carriages nice and bright plus a final coat of clear.
It'll be used by the grandsons at home and the KinderGym kids.
Enjoy your woodwork, relax and make some toys.
Cheers, Crowie
