Homemade Toy Lumber Truck

This is a really cool wooden truck that I have made from kiln dried hem fir with plans that I purchased from Toymaker.com. 

The Tractor and the trailer are 2 different pieces as is illustrated in the pictures. The overall length of truck and trailer is 15.75". It is 3.5" wide and 4" tall. The tractor itself is 9" long and the trailer is 9.5" long. 

I used a dark stain on the running boards, mud flaps, and wheels. The tractor, trailer and the 10 lengths of post lumber on the bed have been finished with a furniture grade Polyurethane. 

I bent a couple pieces of heavy gauge tie wire for the hold downs for the lumber to the bed.

Homemade Toy Dump Truck

I have built so many things in my life. From very high-end homes to making some very interesting wood carvings.
This little homemade Dump Truck project though is one of the most fun and enjoyable projects That I can ever recall doing and it's fun to play with. 
 Homemade toys are incredible. 
These would be fun on a Pinewood Derby track. 
I built it from Hemfir. It is 10" long by 3.5" wide. I used 3 different stains to create variety and used several coats of furniture grade polyurethane for the finish.
I did not make the treaded wheels and axle pins.







Thanks for looking.
