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.

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.
