My first Toy

[Rolf]

This is my first toy car. I got the pattern from one of the Sawdust issues, published by S.A.W. I enlarged it because I had some wheels laying around that someone gave me. I turned them down to square them off and reduce the diameter to 1.5 inches.
The body is solid pine 2" thick the fenders Hoduran mahogany (all scraps)
I counter bored the wheels so that the axels would be recessed a bit.
The car is 7"L x 3"W x 3" Tall.
Finished with Bartley Gell varnish.

What a beauty!
Thanks for including the details. I think all the details help us grow with our own skills.

That's really neat Rolf, and you make it sound so simple. It's very convincing.

Great toy and I agree with Carl. Putting those details into words may give someone else a flash of brilliance. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice idea and super job. I second what Santa said. It's nice to know the particulars.

[stevebuk]

thats just great rolf, there seems to be somewhat of a revival here in the uk for wooden handmade toys again, we have sold lots at the garden centre i work at.

WOW! Now I want to cover my truck in wood, don't think it will look nearly as good as your car though.

Great work, and again, thanks for the details.
