Here are three pictures I just took of a toy I made for my 9 year old and his 7 year old cousin for Christmas. My wife took the proto-type to work last week and sold one so I had to make more. I took the finished one in and showed folks in my department and sold three more. I seem to do better selling at work than on eBay!!
I need to retake the pictures (but too tired now) since the truck seems crunched up to me.. It has a longer look in person.

This truck is of my own design. The first was built about 15 years ago and I have made them into pickup's, flatbed, log haulers complete with logs, lumber trucks and tanker trucks. This Christmas was the first time for the circus truck. My wife makes the animals for me.
The truck is made from recycled pallets and the animals come from the scrap bin. The wheels, axel pegs and dowls I bought. I do have a wheel wright so I can make the wheels, it is just so easy to buy a bag full and have them on the shelf.
Enjoy.
