Semi Truck to match the low boy trailer
After building the Toys And Joys Heavy Duty Trailer it’s time to make a semi to match.
It’s hard for me to take good pictures of the whole thing, these last projects are just way big.
Not going to get fancy with the bottom this time and stay pretty close to the plans.
Will be using cherry and maple to match the trailer.
Great start to a fine finish. LOL
HTL over and out

Working on the cab, seats and steering wheel.
Before I do any shaping I need to get the radiator on there.

Just the right length.
Then on to the radiator.
Then playing with the sleeper.
Fenders and a nose job.
Don’t look now but he’s smiling at you.

Figured out the axle spacing.
Then it’s time for the rear fenders.
On to the deck.

G’day Bruce.
I love the way you’ve continued the two tone theme on to the rear mudguards.
Nicely done sir, cheers Peter

Hi Bruce, trying to get a sense of the scale of this build, it looks like a monster combined with the lowboy. Enjoying this build, inspiring m3 to have a crack at some wheels soon.

This may help but you still need to add the gooseneck.

Trimmed out the rear deck.
Yesterday I turned all the tanks and mufflers.
Clamped up a board so I would have something to square things up and let me put pressure against as I glue things up.
Gluing up the fuel tank braces and then added the steps.
These little brackets can really get on your nerves, but the backer fence was really helpful on the glue up.
Sanded off the dark stain just to see what the difference would be.
