Description
Wooden toy trucks are great projects both for the woodworker who builds them as well as for the end user who’ll derive hours of pleasure playing with them. In this collection of 10 working vehicles, author Les Neufeld has selected toys that are consistently rated by toy manufacturers and retailers as top sellers.
All the toys are meant to be used and played with, so they are sturdily built and can be made by woodworkers of all skill levels. The toys are grouped into three sections: four giant machines, including a dump truck and loader; three midsize working trucks; and an eclectic group of vehicles, including a school bus in monster-truck mode and an articulated 8-wheel tractor with trailer.
