Hi Crowie
Please to hear you’re on the mend for my part I have been wandering about the place Central and Western Australia, this is the first time I have had a chance to look at the forum for quiet some time.

Top job with the tractor cab and trailer! It looks great, will you make the bulldozer to go with it or maybe the road grader out of same book
What I am curious about is your book I have the same but mine is all black and white no colour! I think it’s the same book eg: THE GREAT ALL- AMERICAN WOODEN TOY BOOK By Norman Marshall second print 2003 the drawings appear to look the same, mine is in imperial measurements and printed by Reader Digest would like to get some feed back on your copy of the book. I have been making the T Model Ford in both sedan and utility from the plans in my book and quiet happy with them.

G'Day Col.
I hope your wallaby was a safe one and now that you've returned home, you are refreshed ready for the shed & the toy bench.
Just last night I copied out the 3 "Tin Lizzie" plans and laminated them to take down to the workshop at lunch time today.
I too have the "original" Norm Marshall book in black & white; was fooled on Amazon and purchased the second editor as below.
That book is called "Great Book of Wooden Toys" by Norm Marshall & Bill Jones,



Amazon.com: Great Book of Wooden Toys: More Than 50 Easy-To-Build Projects...

It's the exact same book in COLOUR so now I have bought 2 of the same thing, though the colour photos are helpful for inspiration.
I'm looking forward to making the Model "T" Fords and will also be watching out for you photos on the forum.
Cheers, crowie

Hi Crowie
I to have been caught the same way with books on the internet if you go to my pictures and albums you can see pictures of my T Model Fords made from the same book.
If you check the other pics you will see I make a lot , I give them to local charities that is my thing.
The clock I made for a small part of a wedding present for my Daughter 7 yrs ago and the other toys are for my Grandsons and that would sum up my little toy shop in the backyard.
