Wooden Toy Trucks
Like many people, I have younger family members, so I decided to make a toy for them to play with.
Materials
-any plank of wood(thicker the better)
-saw(cutting the wood)
-paint or stain (decor)
-doll rod(axel)
-drill
-bit to cut circles
-glue
The thicker the wood is better because little kids have little hands. Any paint would work for instructable. This is easy an can be done with hand tools.

The Truck(Measuring It Out)
Take your wood, and from one end measure 9.5 inches, cut.
On one end, 45 degree cut from a corner
On the other end, measure halfway from the top, mark it, and from that line measure 6 inches.
