    logging truck

    a little girl in the hospital kept asking for a toy truck. no one would find one & give it to her. so i made this one for her. lots of little turned parts. nothing like a smiling child as a thank you.

    I like it. Very nice Michelle. That is a great little truck. Did you build it off a pattern or build as you go?

    Beautiful. I would have loved this as a child. Or now. Kudos.
