Another Fund Raiser – Hot Rod Ford C Cab Farming Truck for our daughters school fair in October.Yes, dad was collared by number three to help out with her school fair with a Lollie Guessing Competition Truck.Of course I didn't mine helping out making a truck that'd hold a load of lollies [candy] for the school, thanks to the support and encouragement of folk on LJ's I've become more and more confident in scratch building wooden toy trucks.This truck is 550mm [21.5”] long x 180mm [7”] wide x 230mm [9”] high to the top of the exhaust stack.The back is 350mm [14”] x 150mm [6”] x 60mm [2.5”] so should hold a good amount making the guessing competition fun for all.I've used a mixture of Red Gum, Spotted Gum, Merbau, American Oak, Cypress Pine along with a few other bits & pieces. to build the truck.The finish is my homemade Wipe On Poly [30% Tung Oil, 40% Clear Stain Polyurethane, 30% Turps].The wheels are shop bought as are the furniture buttons for the other lights.A “THANK YOU” goes to LJ's members, for the “C Cab” pattern courtesy of Doug and the Ford Logo from Alex.A pleasing 35hour project which I'm sure some child will love for many years.
