The plan for this item came from the "Great Book Of Wooden Toys", by Norm Marshall. The toy is a nice, hefty size at about nine inches in overall length. Here are a couple of views of it.
My version is not as perfect as the one pictured in the book, but overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Following are a couple of observations:
- The copy of the book that I have is a 2009 revision of the original publication. On the cover there's a subtitle, "More Than 50 Easy-to-Build Projects".
- I like my axle/hub treatment better than I do the prototype's. See this post for an outline of how I make stub axles for wheeled toys.
