He will be using that plank as a surf board next, if you don't keep an eye on him.

I'm with Handy.
People who don't jump in puddles regardless of their age, are taking things far to seriously!
Next time you get a good rain maybe a paper boat for the little fellow.
The adventure of a Smurfs lifetime.
Great stuff Crowie:2tsup:
Cheers mate
Trev.

Looks like an investigation is looming.....
Thanks for the HEADS UP.....cheers, crowie
PS - Paul, How and when did you see him please and what was he doing?? Thank you....
Nice one Crowie :2tsup:Quote:

Well, Handy is still missing....
If he's not in Washington State with Paul, but was caught on MSN News in somewhere with palm trees..who knows where he is??
He was MIA when I did the repair/reglue on the 4 dining room chair.....
He's even missed on on the photo shoot of the completed project....
Anyways, I've finished off my Peterbilt with a drop-deck trailer which has been built by a Peter....lol...
I put 5 coats of clear gloss polyurethane on the truck over a few days and its come up a treat...
The "Blackheart Sassafras" really jumps out against the contrasts of the other timbers....
I've spent some 60hrs on this project....
The rig is 1110mm long x 165mm wide x 180mm high....

The plan was based on the Tractor & Trailer in the Wood Magazine Construction Series with scaling and modifications to reflect the Peterbilt in the photos I received from a good friend, Richard in Melbourne.
It's been modeled on this beautiful big black 1988 Classic 379 Peterbilt with sleeper which had visited Richards work place a few times, plus I'm sure that I've seen the same truck driving down the Great Western Highway on the Lower Blue Mountains....

The keyring and dog tags I bought from the Peterbilt shop in the USA have been added for number plates front & rear.
The grandson's will be here on the weekend to give the truck a test drive but I'm sure it's been built for much play so no problem there.
Thank you one and all for the help & assistance plus fun we've had along the way, it really helps make the project even more enjoyable.
Cheers, crowie
Crowie,
It's fantastic!!!!

Looks great Crowie. Well worth all the time you put into it.:brava
The Sassafras really does stand out now.
Well done Peter a great build I am sure the grand son will give it a great workout and enjoy every minute of it and that is all the reward that you need.

I've just got to keep saying great stuff Crowie :2tsup:
You've got to be well pleased with that.
I really like the pictures of the low boy with the tipper & bobcat.
I pretty sure your Grandson is going to have a brilliant weekend!
Top shelf stuff mate.
Trev.
Looks great.
I really like some of the wood choices you made.
The red wood for the stacks looks really cool.
