Although not totally finished all it really needs is for the handlebars to be dressed. Not really the type of vehicle I was after for Josh, I really wanted a freestanding toy that he could push along.
Not the most imaginative of toys but perfect for Baby's First Car. The window makes it ideal to get his little fingers in and enjoy the feel of the wood.
OK so again it's not the most exciting looking vehicle but it has four wheels a seating area and a body of sorts.Just fine for a baby to push around the floor.
My attempt at designing a sports car. OK so it's not perfectly designed it would not gain any awards at the car show but at least it's a way of developing my techniques.
A colour inverted Starsky and Hutch car. Very popular with my work colleagues
Possibly the first car I did direct from my own plans was the E Type Jaguar
Easy Rider Bike for my lickle daughter. Took some doing this one.
Yamaha, copy of my son-in-laws Bike, which I did for him but still with me 'till I do a copy for myself.
Jaguar XJ6 intermediate most shaping complete but before the bumpers were added.
Jaguar XJ6 the very beginning, first stages before glueing and final shaping.
Jaguar XJ6 with finish varnish added ( the picture doesn't do it justice the finish on the varnish actually looks much better on the finished article.)
Jaguar XJ6 complete with bumpers prior to varnishing.
Two views of my first Beetle.
This is a Tipper Truck I did for Josh for Christmas.
Two early views of Ragtop Beetle, still a long way to go.
No, I haven't forgotten to add more pics of the VW it is still progressing and more will follow soon.
Hopefully you can see a difference and also an improvement on the last two pics.
We even take care of the cars interior.
Roof in place ready for shaping.
Now the roof has been shaped, the next stages are to make and fit the bumpers and the wheels, then hopefully the final sanding.
A quick check to ensure that the bumpers fit OK.
Final pics of the finished Beetle after final sanding and many coats of wax. Now its off to Santa in time for Xmas with a new owner.
A little Jigsaw Rabbit I made for Josh for Christmas.
A pair of Baby's First Cars that were ordered for Christmas.
Probably the easiest built up car that I have made as it is made mainly with straight lines so no awkward contours like the Jaguar and Beetle.
Maple Leaf in English Cherry, unfortunately the wood wasn't quite dry, hence the nasty little crack.
