Free Woodmaking Plan for a Mercedes Lorry Truck at Toymakingplans.com

470

I was looking for a free wooden toy plan to use up some scrap wood. This is a very cute truck once you make it. The plans are pretty reasonable too, I was able to knock out the pieces with a jig in 15 minutes or so. You need 1/2" and 1/4" plank or ply and I had 7mm and 12mm ply so I used that. I didnt buy the lathed wheels, just cut some out of 12mm ply with a hole saw.

You have to sign up for their mailing list, once you do that they email the link to the plans.

It didnt look quite as plush as if you make it with plank but its still purdy good, I say.

Nice little truck and pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

    Also need some dowel for the axles, I actually had to buy that from Bunnings, about 2 or 3 bones. No biggie. And I didnt bother with all those fiddly bits to put inside the cab. Too much hassle.

    Do the dowls at the front corners of the roof drill right through the roof? Guess I'll find out when the plan link comes. But if they do, I think most people would like to change that while building. I have seen many such wooden toys, where the child tries to sit, or leans down on the front edge of the roof and snaps it. Drilling only part way upwards into the roof from beneath, then gluing the dowels in (and leaving the little bits of dowel that jut out the top out altogether) would prevent that.

    • Yep. Too much hassle getting them level otherwise.

    Cool, something to do when I find the time.

    • You're following someone's blueprint… so effectively someone else's creation.
