Hi crowie ,

Excellent job again there . Keep up the great toy making .

Well done Crowie

You are certainly churning out these toys. I look forward to seeing it lacquered.

And yes you beat me finishing the tanker I've been sidetracked with making a bandsawn box.

Keep them coming.

Thank you Ray for the encouragement & good humoured reply.
I've started the lacquering plus have another Model T Ford Ute 2/3's finished.
I enjoy doing these style of toys; it helps take my mind off the health issues and life is good.
Looking forward to seeing both your tanker & your "bandsaw box".
Cheers, crowie

Good one Crowie, I'm feeling a bit uneasy 'cause I don't say anything much in this around this neck of the woods but I love what toymakers do and what you've made is a beauty Crowie. You're obviously unfazed and enjoy using many woods together, tell you the truth though I'd want to apply some colour but that's just me

G'Day Craig,
You'll find a heap of beautiful toys & models in this part of the forum.
On my first Norm Marshall Model T Ford, my grandson said "it's got no colour pa"; then I showed him all the beautiful colours & grains in the actual timber.
I love the mixing & matching of the timbers; creats so much more interest in the toy.
This being said, I do paint a lot of the toy, toys for the little children; lots of bright colours followed by a coat of clear gloss lacquer.
Thank you for taking the time to look though the toys & models.
Cheers, crowie

Yeah well done showing the young ones about timber Crowie.

If you don't mind who's Norm Marshall?

G'Day Craig, Norm Marshall did published a great Toymaking Book.
It was re-printed later in colour with Bill Jones.
I've attached a couple of photos of both books.
I was caught out and bought both books then found out they are the same book.
Cheers, crowie
