Fire Truck
I have started fire truck for my grandson. The ladder extends to 1280mm long.
I still have a lot to do on it. I will post more photo's as I go.
Slowly coming together.
Graham.

G'Day Graham,
That's one good looking fire truck and it must be quite big with a 4' ladder.
Looking forward to the wip photos, thank you.
Cheers, crowie

Thanks artme,
The ladder took sometime to do . The hardness thing was seeing the measurements
and drilling holes in the right spot. A lot of the time making the toys for grandson was just guesting a lot of the time. I couldn't see, especially with the bright lights. It was hard for me to see what was doing most of the time. I have cataracts in both eyes so it will great when I have my operations next month.
Cheers Graham.

Hi Diggerdelaney,
Thanks, I've had both cataracts done now just waiting on the Specialist to tell me
when I can do woodwork again. I think its about 3 to 4 weeks, I find out next week.
I hate it when I can't do my woodwork. But its nice that everything is brighter and
I see things better and do finer work. I should have know trouble finishing off the fire truck. Painting fine lines is a breeze now.
Cheers Graham.
