Cab Over Truck & Trailer
G'day Fellow woodies
Here's a couple of Norm Marshall's designs I've just completed - a Cab Over truck and Flatbed Trailer. I followed the instructions in his book - Great Book of Wooden Toys. Very easy and lots of fun.
I just bought standard radiata pine pieces from the big green and red shed to put together. And I cut the wheels with a hole saw and forstner bit on the drill press.
I have not treated the truck & trailer with any finish at this stage as I have not decided what to use at this point.
The book contains a number of other projects that I will have a go at.
Cheers.
Ray

G'day & Welcome to a top forum Ray,
You've certainly done a top job on your Norm Marshall Truck & Trailer Combination.
Love the few personal touches, looks great.
You'll find a stack of inspiration from some helpful blokes & ladies on the forum.
Looking forward to seeing more of you craftsmanship in the future.
Cheers, Crowie

Great Job Ray! Welcome to the forums.
Plus 1 on the left hand steering wheel. Which toys from the book do you have in mind next?

Nice truck. I like the load of logs. I have made 1 truck so far and I used a wipe on poly.

Nice work, looks like a real fun truck.
Reality is no background music.
