When this past year started I made new school desks for the kids. It has definitely been a trying time as I'm sure it has for everyone. Just used plywood and some poplar. Take care.

Ford “C” Cab Flatbed Trucks I'm thrilled to say that I've had to make another couple of my trucks for the local shop.These are the ones that Dutchy did a plan for adding it to his website as a free download.https://dutchypatterns.com/links/https://www.lumberjocks.com/projects/417603While the plans are first class, but I'm just a toymaker and have as per usual personalized the build as I went.Couldn't have made the trucks without Handy's assistance, he keeps me focused.Just so pleased the shop sold the trucks and some lucky child has a good strong hand made wooden toy truck to play with, that's my real reward.

Dining set

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I posted the table in January, finally finished some chairs and a bench. The bench has a floating top like the table. The chairs are cherry, curly maple and walnut with upholstered black leather seats. I made a few prototypes to figure out the angles and find out what was comfortable, then used the final prototype to make templates. The back legs and spindles were shaped with the templates and pattern router bits. The aprons and leg joints are mortise and tenon. The chairs are finished with three coats of Arm R Seal. I wanted six chairs so I cut parts for seven in case I messed up something. Everything worked out and I ended up with seven chairs. The upholstery was the hardest part, I'll get someone else to do that next time.
