All moving parts are hand-fitted and tested for smooth operation. The propeller spins smoothly, and the wheels roll as they should. I insert nylon washers behind the wheels and the propeller to act as both a bearing and a spacer that prevents them from rubbing against the toy's body, allowing them to turn freely. I make these for my grandson. If they don't work correctly, he will soon tell me I need to fix it.

While not precisely made to scale, this toy aircraft works well with my Play Pal size cars and trucks sold separately.

This toy airplane is currently a "Made To Order" item. I will get it done as quickly as possible, but it may take up to two weeks to ship. It takes at least four days to make one of these ready to ship.

Approximate Size:
Length: 8 inches/203mm
Width: 6.75 inches/172mm
Height: 3 inches/76mm

Some parts are next to impossible to get a clamp on. Rubber bands can come in handy in these situations.

Wooden Toy Lorry Truck My First Version Made For My Grandson - 705872553

  Handmade Wooden Toy Lorry Truck From The Quick N Easy 5 Truck Fleet - Left Side Front View Buy This Truck Now  My Easy 5 Truck Fleet My Toy Truck Collection I created a fleet of toy trucks for my grandson almost a year ago. Unfortunately, he started playing with them before I had the chance to take photos. All the parts for the truck, except for the wheels, can be made from wood purchased at a big box store. I used a scroll saw to cut the body from a 2x4 section, but a piece of 2x6 would be easier. I had to reduce the body size to avoid the rounded corners on the 2x4. I also had to adjust the sides of the bed to clear the wheels. The toy truck is not detailed, but the simple design makes it easier to create than more complex toys. Plus, there are fewer bits and pieces to make, which reduces the likelihood of breakage. I've considered adding fenders to the design. I used pine to make the toy truck because it's lighter than other options, and I prefer to keep the weight o...
