This truck is like the big dirt contractors are going to. If you like to do woodiworking with a lot of miters and angles, this is the one for you, I never counted them but there are more than enough. Each wheel has 72 slots to make the thread.this truck is made of walnut,soft maple, hard maple,oak,hickory ,and 2 I dont know, because they came from recyeied pallets. In fact the whole truck is recyeled wood ,except the walnut in the wheels. About 3 weeks worth of time went in building it. I made 2 of them, at the same time. Comments apprecieated.

How about those wheels! I made the articulated hauler. Took me a heck-of-a-lot than three weeks and I only made one.
Beautiful job!

Chuck,
I really enjoy looking at these models. Even though they can be viewed as “toys” it takes both skill and talent to build one of these. I have a great deal of respect for the abilities of any woodworker who is able to complete something like this.
Nice post, by the way.
