Fire engines
Hi,
Thanks to Crowie, who has provided the plans for the toys. I have attempted to make 2 fire engines. They are in painted as yet. The plans were quite timely as I was asked by a colleague who has a son in the armed forces who is a fireman to make a fire engine for her grandson. Will be finished in fire engine red.
Thanks for looking.

Going to be one happy grandson once he gets his hands on this classic fire engine!!!
Nice job Todd - well done.
I think this plan is available for free from Australian wooden toy plan company - Aschi's Workshop.
Thanks to Aschi's Workshop, this plan is also available for free download from my own website WoodenJoys where we also have available a range of affordable wooden toy parts and accessories that would compliment this plan perfectly!!!

Nice work so far Todd. Looking forward to seeing the finished items.
I downloaded the plans from Thesmo's site the other day and they look just like what you are making.
Great job on the site over the weekend Simon - very clear now!Dallas

Hi Crowie,
It was an email advertising woodenjoys that you sent me. I have always thought that if you have to cut out parts for one toy you might as well do more than one. Not much more time involved.
Website looks awesome Simon. I will definitely be placing an order, that is when the treasurer lets me.
Thanks for the feedback.
Todd

Hi,
Here is the first fire engine. Not painted as per the plan. I work with wood - I am not a painter. Looks good though.
