This Norm Marshall wooden toy Model Truck I essentially the same as the one in the previous post. Its a little newer and unfinished. I cut all of my parts with a bandsaw working on my patio with an extension cord run out the window. There was a lot of sanding done on these parts. Mostly with a 6x48 belt sander. At one time I was making the cab by using 60 grit sandpaper and sanding to the pattern. You would not believe how much dut it made. I work mostly indoors today and would never do that in my garage.  Size: Length: 8 inches Width: 4.5 inches Height: 7 inches Right Front - Handmade Wooden Toy Truck - Norm Marshall Model T Pickup Truck - Version 2 Left Side - Handmade Wooden Toy Truck - Norm Marshall Model T Pickup Truck - Version 2 Left Rear - Handmade Wooden Toy Truck - Norm Marshall Model T Pickup Truck - Version 2 Rear View - Handmade Wooden Toy Truck - Norm Marshall Model T Pickup Truck - Version 2 Right Rear - Handmade Wooden Toy Truck - Norm Ma

I've made a lot of these trucks. Norm Marshall is my favorite toy designer. You can find this and many other toy plans by Norm Marshall in "The Great All-American Wooden Toy Book". It is out of print but easy to find in the used book market.  If you are a long time Shopsmith owner you probably remember seeing some of Norm Marshall's toys in the Shopsmith "Hands On" magazine. I think some of the plans are still available via the Shopsmith website.
