Tourist Trike

 A bit over a week ago I received my regular newsletter from Peter Aschis "Aschis's Workshop"
 
 Wooden Toy & Model Plans | The Best Wooden Toy & Model Plans in the World

Peter very generously adds a small free toy plan for his subscribers and this month it was "Fun-O-Trike".


I needed some shed time so downloaded the plan and printed it off!

And the fun started......

I started the plan but as many know I struggle working with plans,

so just used his plan as a base to make a more detailed trike which ended up as a Peterbilt "Tourist Trike"

I made quilted seats for the passengers and the rider;
extended the folks & body of the trike;
added a headlight & taillights along with twin exhaust pipes on 2.25" dia treaded back wheels and 2" wheel cutter front front wheel.

I've already shown Peter via email of what I did with his plan, receiving his tick of approval.

Mine is 12" long by 4.5" wide and 4" high.

I've put 3 coats of my homemade wipe-on-poly to finish it off.

Both Papa Smurf and Handy Smurf are very pleased with my efforts


Cheers Peter

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.


Cool build crowie... but you'll never convince me it was back to the old days of "smooth sailing"
How about a few happy snaps of the oopsies.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

What a beautiful trike. Well done Peter!

Nice, Peter! Good job making it your own.

May you have the day you deserve!

Would make for a "sporty" grocery getter!
Papa Smurf looks like he is wants to go out cruising for some biker smurfettes!
Great build, Crowie.  I love the add-one creativity you bring to your projects.   👍👍👍👍👍.  This fine little tryke reminds me of Tuk Tuk experiences I had in Bangkok.  I can feel the acceleration and smell the petrol fumes.   😁
I love it Crowie....my brother has a three wheeler...gives me an idea!   well done and thanks for showing!
