This piece is 150% of the plan size. It measures 25" long. The wood is Fir Heart, Walnut and figured Redwood wheels. It articulates right/left on a pivot point and the trailer dumps backwards. It was a challenging piece but well worth the work put into it.

Peter: I used Aschi’s Workshop Plan #149 and added a 3rd axle. Then used Plan #211 because I wanted the long 3 axle trailer. Worked out perfect. Using the Mahogany was the right thing. Frank S.

Peter: I started building your designs in December 2011. There have been quite a few built since then. Challenge is excellent and end result is something one can be proud of. Aschi’s Workshop Plan 154 was a fun challenge and to date the best Plan to have been built. I have a good inventory of wood given to me. fsbuild8.jpg - 77.3 kb I chose the Oak and Walnut for the Trailers. That wood was used in 1950 to build my next door neighbor’s house. The white wood is Alder. Getting the parts all cut and shaped then out into their separate trays was the exact right thing to do. I built the Tractor first and one Trailer to get a feel for the fitting of all three trailers. I did a lot of Dry Fitting before any gluing. Craftparts (http://www.craftparts.com/) supplied the wheels. The wheels were stained Golden Oak. fsbuild6.jpg - 75.09 kb fsbuild1.jpg - 112.9 kb fsbuild7.jpg - 85.7 kb
fsbuild5.jpg - 67.86 kb fsbuild9.jpg - 58.92 kb fsbuild10.jpg - 63.78 kb  I wanted the wheels dark. My personal feeling is the dark worked better than just Varnish on raw spruce for this model.. The overall length is 68" I am making a shelf to add to my collection in my Party Room. Repeating myself, the results were spectacular for this truck. Will teach those who see to understand the Australian Road Train. Frank Silverman   Plans from Aschi's Workshop fsbuild11.jpg - 67.85 kb fsbuild12.jpg - 70.38 kb
fsm1c.jpg - 119 kb Finished Plan 232. They are a bit different than the original 230. I lowered the roof by using 3/8's material and changed the slant in the roof. I also changed the 6 degrees to 7.5 degrees on the cabin/motor cut. To me it looks more like an early Ford now. If you look at #4, you can see the orange wood. I have no idea what it is.  fsm19c.jpg - 96.8 kb fsm6c.jpg - 78.75 kb It is very hard and very dense. It sands very slow. But the color was just wonderful. I looked it up but still couldn't specifically figure out what it is. Of course I wanted you to see them before I put them out on Facebook. Hope you like them Peter. Now I am back to being a Gardner for a while. Frank  ALL PLANS from ASCHI's WORKSHOP fsm7c.jpg - 87.82 kb
