   hey that was an afterthought, after box was assembled etc etc

   but a few cuts with a table saw, a quick router job and a piece of heavy wire and hey a four year old proof hinge!!

   I like it, it needs headlights, fuel tanks too small, but I like it, I might copy it. It a great idea.It doesn't matter who he is, just so long as he says something "we" like. RJW 1/07

   headlights and grill are in the works, probably stainless screws and cupwashers and a piece of window screen for a grill

   the fuel tanks are turned walnut laminated from 2- 3/4 inch pieces(all i had)

   i dont think my 4 year old grandson will care!!

   trailer(still under construction) is a 4 foot long flat bed

   next is a tow truck under the same design

   then its doll house time for my grand daughter

   Exellent heirloom piece. Since a 4 year old is pulling it I bet that it gets better gas milage than anything any of us are driving.

   Fun. They had a whole fleet of those in my kindergarten. Every day we got to sit on them and scoot in circles around a big work table.

   I only just now realized that it was probably so we'd wear ourselves out before nap time.
