Wooden Toy Truck Martin Motors Antique Car Carrier Build Part 9 The Tuck Bed

This is the trailer for the Martin Motors Antique Car Carrier. The pattern had to be printed on two pages and spliced together, which presents a problem as it prevents the solvent from removing the glue under the tape I use to hold the pattern to the wood. The long and straight cuts are the most challenging part of cutting the trailer, and it's easy to go off the lines if you get distracted. If this happens, it may not be fixable if you go too far in the wrong direction. I could cut outside the line and sand to the line, but at that point, I might as well be using a bandsaw.

  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 of
