Wooden Fire Truck
Been doing the fire truck thing for about 5 years, the last 2 with a CNC. The trucks are in 1/18 scale.

Re: Wooden Fire Truck
Thank you all. The Body, cab and pump area are "skins" over wooden blocks and there is about 200 parts glued on to an fire engine and over 500 for a ladder truck

Re: Wooden Fire Truck
Absolutely beautiful work. Imagine it was a major leap of faith to go for the open cab I don't have your patience.
Re: Wooden Fire Truck
Excellent work. Have you done any older fire trucks?

Re: Wooden Fire Truck
Awesome work. You should consider selling plans for one or more of these. These are so good, I can't imaging your not getting a lot of buyers. Several firefighters in my family who have kids. Plus the fire department holds an annual auction with funds going to a foundation that helps families with injured or deceased firefighters. I would love to do one of these but with this detail, I wouldn't even know where to begin. And maybe not the patience for more than one per year. Incredible job your are doing. Thanks for posting. Makes me want to become a better woodworker.

Thanks again for the kind words. Here is a older truck for a firefighter from Hudson Ny.
