Project Information

This was a project from the "Wood" magazine construction toys series. I ordered the sheels and gas tanks everything else i made. Maple and walnut for the truck and birds eye maple for the dumper. This was going to be a gift for a 1y/o so i added a bunch of dowels when putting things together to add some strength. Turned out great and i already have a request for another.

John G. Great truck!!! I have to make one for a 3 year old nephew for Christmas and I was wondering how you made the wheels? Thanks!

Nice work, John! Looks like the truck could handle any job given to it by a youngster. The only problem with your project is that it reminds me that I'm supposed to make a similar item for my 1-year old grandson -- Not your fault!

Cool toy! Like the build and design. I'm sure the little kid will get lots of fun with it.

Hi John, nice job there.

As a small boy my first dream profession was that of becoming a trucker and this truck of yours reminded me of a similar one I had when I was little.
