I can say, as someone who likes wooden toys - I like this toy. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful project to create & a delightful robust battery free toy to give. We are so lucky to have the means to share these wonders.

2x4 technology at its finest. Some of the funnest projects come from within a 2x4. Great video.

I've got my first grandchild on the way in a couple of months; this is absolutely going into my list of things to make when he gets a little older. :)

I love every time you post a video. I wish you did a blooper reel.

Loved this week's project...so simple, yet so crafty. NICE!!!

I liked the cut outs for the axle's better then the original through holes. Nice job Steve.

Great project. Looking forward to seeing the smile on grandsons face.

Good video, I started my foray into woodworking by building simple cars and trucks. I called them 2x4 toys because that was what I used primarily to make them with. Then I got into "presentation models" More detailed and with a company name or logo on it (18 wheelers, tractors and excavators, etc). No money in it, but a lot of fun to build and nice gifts to give. Keep up the great videos!

My grand kids love "working" in the shop with me, and this is a great idea. We've made some train cars and an old Flintstones type car so this will fit right in. Might be another video in my future! I'll definitely check out the other links you gave. Nothing like quality time with the kids in the shop. You get to talk about all kinds of stuff and even slip in a little life philosophy as well. Thanks for the ideas!

simple and effective! I had a truck very similar to this that "lived" at my grandparents house...it was a plain wood finish instead of painted, and had a flatbed style trailer that held "logs" as you say at the end, there are a LOT of possible additions you do could with this, and whole fleets of vehicles that could go along with it....

Such a fun project! Mistake? No way... it's time for a design option! Love it!!!

Extra great project and I know a lot of children will enjoy them THIS Christmas. Thanks for sharing Steve. God Bless

The only thing that was missing from the Harry's gift set was condoms. You know, because after shaving you'll be irresistible. :) Seriously now, this is a great project for young kids.

I'm glad someone still pays homage to The New Yankee. Thanks for sharing, Steve. You're the man!

What a great project Steve! I have a 7 year old grandson that is going to love these trucks! Thanks so much for the free plans too!

I really like that you include "design options". Great for newbies like me.

I think the axle design option is actually really good for those of us without a drill press.

*gets excited at prospect of a project where the shiney spray paint is encouraged*

I used your idea to make Santa's sleigh with hidden wheels and instead of plain blocks, I made them wraped gift boxes .. thanks Steve .. you are really an inspiration to most of us .. keep going!!! waiting for next video!!

Always looking forward to Friday's!

Good save with the axle design option Steve! The exchangeable parts are a great idea. A cement truck mixer would be fun to turn on the lathe.

Rare earth magnet on the truck and a chunk off metal rod glued into the bottom of attachments might make easier for kids to play when the hole loosens a bit over time.

Steve Carmichael I make multiple trailer attachments. Car hauler with cars. Logging truck with some branches. flatbed they can put anything on. A rail system for hauling g plastic animals etc. Just look at the different Trucks and you can build a dozen interchangeable bed trailer combos. The most popular is the tow truck bed. Boys always grab that one first.

I built a truck using a 1x4 for the bed/ frame and 2x4 blocks for underneath to hold the axle my grandpa told me to use a bolt for the axle because kids will sit on the back of the truck

I like the project, great gift idea for toddlers. To make a real secure connection you could countersink some magnets into the truck hitch hole and the truck accessories.

I really like your Harry's commercials. The truck build is a dandy!

cool project...and i like the way you leave the messups in the projects where you mess up

The harry's commercials are the reason i watch every Friday.

What do you use to paint or stain these toys that are child safe?

I can't wait until Friday to see your videos. I love the fact that you make mistakes and don't edit them away. To me that says pure class. I also love the homage to Norm Abrams! As soon as you started his face popped in my head. Please keep the videos coming and Merry Christmas!!

You got Jacksfilms beat for the best Harry's commercial!

I was so hoping you were going to say "and a pear tree" after the micro jig commercial. Thumbs up for that!!!!!

Harry's should pay you more. Too funny!!!

You really do make, not just woodworking but also, your videos really fun and entertaining. My Friday's are better once I watch Steve. Keep up the good work and great project. :D

You know what? You're just awesome, and so are your projects. These people that dislike your ideas are just dumb as hell. The more I watch your designs, the more I want to start some woodworking too :) Keep up the great work, you are one of my favourtie woodworkers here on youtube :)

Fun project, well executed! That wheelbase 'design option' is so incredibly relatable... lol

Love your projects! This is my most favorite channel on KZread!

Great video Steve, thanks for sharing. I would like to see more simple wooden toy projects.

Thanks! I just made this for grandson

amazing holiday gift idea. lots of love from Iceland

Finnaly a Norm Abram quote again! Loved it Steve!

Great project so Steve. I have nephews that would love this.

It's a perfection sir🖒🖒🖒🖒

well done and good luck

Perfecto es un camión muy parecido al que hago ...con este modelo copio otras cosas....gracias....felicitaciones.

It's really great that this projects only requires one 2x4.

Great video. I like the "Design Option". I use that quite a bit myself.

Design options, sequel to rustic charm

Another Great video by the one and only Steve Ramsey..

Steve, thank you so much for you consistent inspiration. You're an awesome guy and if your ever in Atlanta Ill buy you a beer.

Elegant solution on the axle slots Steve!

this is soo fricking creative!!!

17 chuckles, 6 likes, 1 Harry's, 1 Truck (modular), 1 Happy Little Camper that receives it for a gift, well minus the Harry's..I thought very highly of the video and the Truck was cool too !!

I love your ad videos they're always so amusing to watch. Haha. Also great project thank you so much for sharing your idea.

This will be a great idea for grandson and granddaughter.

I loved the design option. Great project!

This is really cool. I organize a wooden toy Toy Drive every year where I work. We might have to try this out as a possible new toy.

beautiful truck congratulated the kids will love

The harry's commercial was funny!

I want to see a few more small toy ideas please. This is good

Awesome Steve

Trailer hitch: King pin/ fifth wheel. What a grand project. Going to check on the Duck Train.

design option ftw!

Loved the Norm reference!

Good idea! I like it. Thanks for what you do and for sharing it with us.

My boy would love this! Awesome Video.

Beautiful toy! Cool project!

Excelente. Gracias

I love wood work, but after finishing college I've not been doing it much, due to the lack of materials and fancy tools :P But one day I'm going to build myself a nice shed and fill it with drills, saws and sanders!

You make some very beautiful toys!

Your camper needs some holes drilled in the top to hold crayons

+Derek Cadmus Awesome idea.

Billy Gibbons hasn't seen a razor since he went through puberty. Great idea with the exchangeable trailers. I need to make a bunch of these for my little guy.

Awesome project, Steve! I know my son would love this. It just so happens we have a toy building contest coming up for our year end holiday meeting of the Sin City Woodworkers club here in Vegas too. Perfect timing!

Awesome Steve! Also loved the Norm reference.

"Design Option". I love it!

Very nice I will do that to my daughter

Great Job Steve,

Great project, I like the modular system, nice idea from your viewer!

I love that you referred to that Woodworking show where the guy says "read, understand and follow" I always thought it was hilarious he said understand.

Maybe embedding magnets in the camper and dumptruck bed so they don't fall out as easy. Love this project.

"Be sure to read..." By time you got that far in, I knew where it was going, and I wasn't disappointed. I was laughing like a maniac, at work. That was great. Thanks lol. Great project too.

Ohhh God... I completely lost it twice during this episode! xD Love your humor, now i gotta go wipe off my tears and get my cheeks out of a cramp. You make advertising fun again.

The commercials are Hilarious!!!

Hey Steve love the videos every week. I always look forward to them.

Make a wooden town for kids to play. With mini trees and mini cars. And bigger buildings. Lots of them.

Great turnout!

Trailer hitch thingy is called the king pin. Nice project.

Lol, I actually enjoyed that Harry's bit

Great project once again!!!!

Awesome homemade toy

Olá Steve !!! Me inscrevi no canal á pouco tempo e tenho observado seus vídeos...são sensacionais...muito bons !!! Sou iniciante nos trabalhos com madeira e tenho aprendido muito com você...PARABÉNS !!! Um abraço !!! Obrigado !!!

I would have loved something like that as a kid

Agent Cynyr, perhaps try staining with food coloring (like Easter egg stuff)???

I just might make something like this for christmas. :)

Great toy idea. A (very small) modification that some people might want to make is to have the dowel on the truck instead of the accessories, then you only have to cut a hole in the accessories instead of putting a dowel in each one.

Lovely

The "trailer hitch thingy" is a fifth wheel and the peg is called a king pin. Great project, as usual.

Another great project.

I lost it when you put the box on the tree.

Nice job, Steve. I like how you drilled the hole for the trailer hitch "thingy"! Charlie

fun little project as usual. When will you be dong the toy box fund raiser. I missed last years.
