Ford “C” Cab Truck
Attachment 484804
Well here’s a turn up for the books!
Though a lady in my wife “Smooth Movers Class” [gentle gymnastics for over 50’s] I was introduced to her husbands boss who owns a local Picture Framing business and Craft Shop which has attached a Repair Shop styled upon the British TV Show.
I was asked to drop in with some of the photos of the toys I make.
We long story short, the owner was very excited to see a toymaker in his shop and asked me to being some toys to the shop as he didn’t have anything like what I did, stating there was a huge market for hand made wooden toys.
So a quick 25 hours over a week or so and hey presto, a Ford “C” Cab Truck to take and show him.
The truck is 20” [510mm] long; 8.5” [225mm] wide; 8” [200mm] high.
Their is a mixture of reclaimed and recycled timbers; Merbau, Pacific Maple, Tallow Wood, Spotted Gum, Red Gum and Oregon.
The wheels are shop bought ask are the furniture button taillights and fuel caps.
I’ve used my homemade Wipe-On_Poly, 3 coats to finish it and added a “Ford Logo” on the back of the tray.
The truck was taken by the owner on the spot when I returned to the shop to show him what I like to make.
He claimed it for his own and has displayed it in the shop as a conversation piece with the view to gain commission work for me; wow!
I also gave him a few of the smaller vehicles for his shop to sell.
He wants to support local craftsman and introduce locals & visitors to hand made wooden toys.
