Antique toy

[Lumberman]

This whimsical toy is made up of several Hardwoods. The little Guy moves up and down as the wheels are rotated
a cam is fitted to the rear axle which causes this function. as an after thought I fitted a rear box which was not in the original pattern I also discarded the number plate which is just printed on photographic paper an replaced them with ones I cut it was a bit tricky as the numbers are a bit small.

Looks great! I think the rear box improves the design too giving it a more balanced look. I have just remembered where i have seen it before! Geoff on this forum driving his car loaded up with scrolled goodies 9-) lol

Hi Lumberman
that is really nice, and a great way to use up small bits of useful off cuts. The more I look at it, the more I like it!!!
