I have a cousin of mine that started teaching me woodworking when I was a young lad of 12. He is going to be 70 this year and I just thought I'd show you the fire truck he made for his grandson's 3rd. birthday which is today. He made it out of cutoffs that I save for him. Not a guitar but pretty cool.

Wow ! I wish I could do that! Man is that cool! The wheel wells and running boards, the ladders, the wheels! The hood...one lucky little boy!

That is really nice work. That lucky 3-year old will have something to treasure the rest of his life.

That is some real craftsmanship. Any little boy would love to have that firetruck. Bob, what are the dimensions?
