Sometimes its the simple stuff.....

[Rojo22]

The Georgia Woodworkers Guild was over at a fellow woodworkers shop this weekend making toys for the childrens hospital. We helped them make a few extras and in the process cut a few extra parts to have around for ourselves.

The trucks are made from regular old 2 by 4's, and pine shelving.

Sometimes when you head out to the shop, the plans, the lumber choice, the finish choice and execution of the piece can be a pretty long and arduous task. Not this project.

No fancy wood selections, no special techniques. I hope the finished product puts some smiles on some folks faces, as it put a smile on mine and reminded me that not all woodworking has to be complicated.

After seeing Mrs,Rojo22`s pens I`m thinking of going to making trucks too:biggrin:..........btw Nice job could I get the plans?

If your handing out plans send them my way. Those are some good looking trucks. I hope the kids enjoy them.

Guys, the plans are not really on paper. We made some from some of the pieces that were left over from another project. I can bring some of the parts and a sheet with the dimensions on them for you to the next meeting, and you know if I can make them, anyone can!

Super project and for a truly worthy cause. If you could scan the dimensions and post it, I would appreciate it. I know of some folks who would appreciate a cool hand made gift, and I have a hammer.....
