    Default Finished low loader and 3 colourful trucks

    Hi,

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

    Today my boys helped me make 3 very colourful trucks. Blue for Michael, yellow for
    Luke and red for my niece Gracie.

    They love the trucks.

    The low loader looks great finished. It must have cost you a fortune just in wheels for that big rig.
    Good to see you looking after the rest of the family too with those little ones. Great job all round.

    Just wait until they reach your age if they are producing this kind of work.

    The truck and low loader are fantastic well made and good choice of wood types

    Well done Todd, the prime mover & drop-deck look great.....
    The little trucks are beaut, I hope your kids are easier on them than my grandsons [I've had to up the axles to 5/16"]....
    Keep up the good work as wooden toys are just the best...
    In photo #5, it sure looks dry in your back yard....
    Cheers, crowie

    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% certain.

    Thanks for the comments. The only problem I have now is that both of my boys want it.
