Now that I am out past the fenders things have progressed along very nicely, this past weekend I was able to get almost all the work done to complete the project sans finishing.
I am using birds eye maple for the box of the dump truck here is the bottom and the front
Here are the sides, I finally get to use all of those itty bitty clamps given to me when I started my wood working odyssey several years back.
and without the clamps
And finally the body of the truck:
Today after wook I am hoping to get finnal assembley done. I will then put this to the side and move on to other projects for now, it was 112 degrees yesterday (in the shade) and I am quite sure that whatever finish I choose will harden in mid-air and bounce right off of the wood…. :)

The truck does look pretty good. I have been following this and, even though it is hot, it does sound like you are having fun.
