    Default 1920s truck

    Hi all
    Here is David's latest model. It is made of Tasmanian Oak with Redgum wheels and features.

    This one's the trial to see what people make of his models on Ebay. It's a bit hard to word the ad in such a way that it receives maximum exposure.

    Looks awesome. Sincerely hope it goes ok for you on ebay but I'd be amazed if you recouped enough to pay for your time fairly. Best of luck though

    I guess we've all accepted the fact that we will never be paid for the hours spent making any of the woodworking creations here.

    I'd be happy just to recoup some money towards timber and consumables like Dremel bits, glue and sandpaper.

    And then there's the issue of what to do with the collection as it grows. I'm not a great fan of having to dust surfaces covered with things.

    We're frankly running out of room

    G'Day Lili,
    Looks like Dave has been busy in the new shed with the new position of retirement.
    What a top looking truck.
    Good luck with the eBay thing.
    All the best to for a safe & Happy Christmas in the Riverina.
    Cheers, crowie

    Very cool. Great detail. That is a nice collection. I wouldn't mind dusting it for you. Or you could build a display case to put them all in then you wouldn't have to dust them.

    Very nice job on the truck!! I wish we had some of that exotic Aussie wood to work with!

    +1 on getting a display case! That's a worthy collection you've got there! Find an old china cabinet that you can restore or modify, add some lighting and no dusting to worry about!

    Just re-read my post and it probably came across a bit over the top. I was more meaning that you've obviously put a heap of time and effort into it and it could never reap a sale price high enough to recognise that. I know that nothing I've ever sold (precious few things at that) have gone for much more than materials cost

    Good luck with it though, and that is a lovely collection of toys

    Cheers,
    Dave
