Moving Truck

Moving TruckAfter completing the trucks for my four granddaughters, my son wondered where his truck was. So, I decided to construct a moving truck with three rear axles. The cab and engine sections are modelled after the T&J Tow Truck which I made for my daughter. The remainder is my own design.The truck is constructed with poplar and pine and finished with Watco Tung Oil. I formed the rear doors by building a frame with 3/4” x 3/4” pine to accommodate the 3/8” thick doors. After adding the 3/8” door stops, I drilled 5.64” holes through the top and bottom of frame at the hinge locations. I cut the head off 1.5” finish nails which became the door hinges.The mirror frames were formed by removing heads and bending 2.5” finish nails with my lineman pliers. I drilled 7/64” holes through roof and top of each mirror and glued in place with epoxy. Door handles were formed in the same way.Additional details include: coloured rear, front, roof and step lights; blue/yellow caps for DEF and diesel tanks; bucket seats in cab; mud flaps; and lug nuts on all wheels.

Segmented French Rolling Pin and Pen/Blanks

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Segmented French Rolling Pin and Pen/BlanksSo I am participating in a couple of swaps and one is for anything turned and the other was for a pen with a segmented blank you made. I was going to make the rolling pin with a Celtic Knot but it seems you see that often so figured I'd make a big segmented blank like the pen blanks for the rolling pin.
