The weather has been a bit dull since Christmas so I decided to make my 2 grandsons some old car related wooden toys.
I suppose i should have thought of doing it before Christmas.
Anyway, they were both supposed to be Ford AA twin wheel axle lookalikes but one of them morphed into a smaller model A pickup. Made from bits of wood with steel bumpers and radiator surrounds.

Beautiful workmanship Mike.
I have to ask... where did you get the tyres? |

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution |

The tyres are just turned wood. Sprayed with a black aerosol.
Unfortunately I don't really own many woodworking tools and did it all with metal working equipment. |
