Title: Semi
Post by: sp_343 on January 27, 2011, 12:30:52 pm

This is about 11" long, 7" high & 5" wide.  Made mainly from Pine with a Cherry "engine" and Walnut accents.  Pattern can be found either on the web site or in the book.  Great company to work with and the patterns are outstanding!

Enjoy!

That is neat.  Are you going to have a trailer go with it?  I really need to make Jaun a semi he could play with.

Cherie:  There is a "Low Boy" trailer that goes with it...then you can add different pieces of equipment (Road Grader, Bulldozer, etc...).  If you are going to make one for your "other-half" to play with, you could also check out these links for different patterns for semi trucks.  I cut my own wheels with a hole saw and then sanded them...but you could always buy wheels with tread on them, for a more authentic look.  This truck is going to my father-in-law...then I will begin building for my son & daughter to play with.

Thanks for the links.  I am certainly looking for a pattern.  He has driven dry van, reefer, flatbed and tankers.  Oh what to chose from.  MAYBE THEM ALL!!  Would make a great display one day.

Nice job Chris, I like your wheels and the way you doubled the wheels in back. Thanks for the links also.
