Thanks Crowie,

They turned out quite well. We ended a bit further east of Ipswich so not as cold as Ipswich. These little tanker trucks have got me inspired again as I haven't had the desire to...

Nice work. It is a great book.

Hi Cava,

I had my trusty smart phone with calculator and converted the dimensions to metric - I rounded the measurements up to the nearest whole number. Seemed to work well.

Hi

Have made a couple of jet fighters from Norm Marshalls book - great wooden toys. Mostly made from scrap timber. I reckon they look pretty good.

Thanks for looking.

Todd.

Hi,

I copied the images from google into a Word document and sized the correctly. Then printed them out and glued them onto the plane with aquadhere. Then varnished.

Hi,

Has been a long time since I made a toy. Here Tis Crowie. P40 Flying Tiger Warhawk.

Looking good Crowie. I made a couple of those fire engines a few years back and they were a lot of fun. Ps I will start making toys soon.

No rain out here Crowie. Definitely need some.

Hi,

Sometime ago I made a low loader with 8 different timbers based on Crowie's Peterbilt truck. I have finally found the time and design to make something to go on the back.

The low loader is...

Hi,

A friend has asked me to make him a fountain pen with a fine tip. He tried a Roman Harvest fountain pen but said it wasn't fine enough.

Does anyone have any suggestions of a different kit...

Well done.

Hi,

Was out at Quilpie last week while travelling around South West Queensland when I came across this lake which had the most amazing trees.

Would love to see how the timber turns.

Hi,

I have been asked to make a wedding set by a very special friend. So I decided that I would try a different kit that suits the occasion. I have never used the Roman Harvest kit before and...

The dark timbers are - engine is beefwood, cab is Tallowwood as are the fenders. Sleeper is Blackwood. I think the dark timber on the trailer is an iron bark. It was given to me so not 100%...

Hi,

Have finished the low loader and truck. Looks pretty good I reckon.

Now that is awesome work. Top job.

Hi,

Crowie,

What scale did you use? Dimensions of prime mover are 460mm long, 180mm wide and 200mm high. Am thinking the trailer will need to be approx 1000mm with 4 sets of wheels. What do you...

Hi,

I got the wheels from Woodenjoys. http://www.woodenjoys.net

Good service and love the quality.

Hi,

I watched with interest a build by Crowie. It was a Peterbilt semi that was made with different timbers.

I thought I would attempt to make a truck based on Crowie's design using timbers...

Time to pull up a chair and take notes. Looks awesome so far.
