CONSTRUCTION—GRADE

WITH A HANKERIN' FOR HAULIN'

This rugged little hauler will carry an imaginary load across a sandbox as well as the playroom floor. And, to make your young foreman feel at ease in the driver's seat, the truck includes a sturdy hoist, gas tanks, ribbed box, and tread tires.

Note: You'll need some thin stock-far this project. You can plane or resaw thicker stock to the thicknesses stated in the Bill of Materials.

Begin with the cherry cab and hood

1 Cut a piece of W cherry to 254x12" long for the cab blank (A).

2 Fit your tablesaw or radial-arm saw with a dado blade, and cut a 1W dado W deep '/>" from each end of the cab blank where shown in the photo at right.

3 Crosscut the cherry cab blank into two equal lengths. Mark the windshield location on one piece where shown on the Chassis and Cab drawing. (This piece is extra long, so mark the top of the windshield flush with the top of the dado.) Drill a blade start hole inside the marked windshield, and cut the opening to shape with a scrollsaw or coping saw. Sand or file the edges of the opening.

4 Apply glue to the mating surfaces, align the dadoes, and clamp the cab parts together face-to-face. Before the glue completely dries, use a sharp chisel to remove the excess from inside the cab opening. To finish forming the cab (A), trim the top and bottom of the cab lamination to length CW), leaving J4" of stock above the opening where dimensioned on the Chassis and Cab drawing.
