Awesome truck! I love the sipped tires! One weakness I've learned with the trucks that my dad built for me and those in my 2 boys collections, over the years, the axles may be a bit on the light side. When he sits on it ( and he will sit on it and try to ride it at least once!), they may break. The wheels and axle block are so big on this truck though, it would be really easy to go back in with bigger diameter dowels (or steel rods?!) the next time.
Great video John. I've always wanted to build stuff like this, not only for my kiddos but to give away to others. That beautiful flag at the end of the video was the best addition! 'merica
Awesome. You dida amazing job. I'm going to take some of your ideas, and build a convertible 4x4 for my granddaughters 14 inch dolls to ride in. Wish me luck.
A present that's made means more than you think to someone handmade no matter what it is means more than you ever would think it would that's a awesome truck u made
Was scrolling UA-cam on my Xbox and saw this wooden truck video, I thought it might be cool to watch, then I realized it was Squirrel Nation and I knew it would be 😎
Love it! This has inspired me to make my kids something this year for Christmas. Something like this would also be a cool challenge for the podcast lIsteners to take part in or a MFP vs Modern Makers challenge.
Nice job now you can help Santa out haha. Great fun making those . In the past I myself have made canoes and other toys similar to that and It was fun. Maybe it's time to make another to go along side yours John. LOVE the BUILD
It sounds like wood heresy but I'm going to make my truck with long tenons at every joint. I have been making cabinets and furniture since '73 and am making a monster truck out of white oak. I'm starting a business doing cabinet work and have a channel called T wagner on UA-cam. Wood has both seasonal movement and shrinks over time not to mention moving even more if it's not dry.
After all that work I think that l would probably keep it for myself.... The only thing that l wasn't sure about was should you of used thicker dowel for the axle wheels
This video is 4 years old now, how has the truck held up? toddlers are masters of destruction in my experience haha. Has it been tossed down a flight of stairs?
@@John_Malecki I made a little jeep out of solid maple - used the silhouette CJ logo for the shape of it - and it's been broken and glued back together a few times already. haha. I think only those old metal tonka trucks can survive a toddler's wrath.
Best part of this video is you didn’t use the CNC machine ! Most of the people who follow you don’t have that kind of stuff . We all have modest tools and wives who say we can’t afford that. Keep on keeping it real ! Oh and I might make one of these
John Albrecht I do have one. Here is a video of my initial start up. It's based on Dave Gatton CNC. I hope you didn't take the comment the wrong way. I was just joking. The list of thing's to make now is really long. 😀 ua-cam.com/video/YmDRxOIDS8s/v-deo.html
Completely and utterly awesome! Makes me want grandkids to make stuff like this for. Just wondering why you had to readjust the fence to cut the wheels? Unless I'm missing something, couldn't you have cut all eight pieces that make up the wheels the same, flip four of them around and then glue them together?
It would be way too difficult with how many things i just added on late in the game. But woodcraft sells some plans similar to this one you might wanna check out
HI JOHN you are very talented man ,I am making one but I could not fallow that tire making , what is the angle you set on miter gauge .please let me know ,Thank you John
Wow John, that's awesome! Love the truck! Oddly enough, I just posted a video making a Wooden Fire Engine with a CNC today. LOL, how weird is that! Take it easy and Happy Thanksgiving man!
That's an awesome truck! I know the challenge of designing vehicles in layers! I'm also making wooden models, on my bandsaw. You're always welcome on my UA-cam channel to take a look !
sweet. This'll live on for generations. More wooden toys! Thanks for sharing.
I now know what I want for my 42nd birthday.👍🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
You know you need to give that to your nephew. Looks like you need to build one for yourself as much fun you had while you were building it.
Yea he's going to love it !
Cool build, Jack will love it! Reminds me of a 60's Bronco.
Haha yes I love the 60's broncos
Thinking the same thing JB... I have a 1970 Bronco! 😊 Nice build there John! 👍🏻
I think he's talking about the 60s Broncos football team
I dig it! I'm sure that will be a favorite for years to come.
Cool truck! He’s gonna love it. It reminds me of some of the old original Ford Broncos.
Love myself a good old ford bronco!
That was actually pretty great! I lived the Old Glory sequence at the end. I'm sure the kid will love it!
Thanks Jim, It was a fun cool project. Im glad you enjoyed it!
Ah man got my first grandson earlier this year, think I just may have a go at this myself. Thanks for the inspiration great video!
Glad you dig it, be sure to share how your truck comes out!
That was pretty awesome. I especially like the football tuck on the router. Bold. Bold is good btw. Thanks for putting the build out.
this came out great! MERICA!!! Hope Jack gets many years out of this awesome lil truck
I hope so too, knowing him tho, it will probably be destroyed as soon as he sees it
Probably one of the coolest builds I’ve seen on UA-cam lately. Good stuff!
Glad you dig it my friend, I had a blast building it

Love it! This has inspired me to make my kids something this year for Christmas. Something like this would also be a cool challenge for the podcast lIsteners to take part in or a MFP vs Modern Makers challenge.
Not a bad idea, not a bad idea at all
Nice job now you can help Santa out haha. Great fun making those . In the past I myself have made canoes and other toys similar to that and It was fun. Maybe it's time to make another to go along side yours John. LOVE the BUILD

Great build John. 😎. Reminded me of a toy combine (farmer thing 😁) my father built me when I was a youngster..
That sounds so cool!
Nice
excellent truck I love to get the plans I was going yo ask about maybe a stainless Philip screw to the axle as a hubcaps
Dude, you’re awesome! Great build!! It’s midnight here but all of a sudden I want to punch my next project in the face!!!
Thats what im talking about Anthony! Punch your sleep in the face!
Nice trick on the tire treads!
Great Video!! 👍😍👍 I gotta make one for my nephew.

Amazing!
This would have absolutely been my favorite xmas present as a kid! Awesome detail and build John!

Great job. Paint the tips of the stacks black.
Yea i shouldve drilled them out, it was last minute late addition so i dropped the ball there
Cool truck. Love the flag touch. Great stuff!
Dear John Malecki, i'm a brazilian guy and my english is very poor, but i would like to say that this toy is very cool.
Thanks Bruno!
Hey John !!! That‘s soooo... cool !!!
I Love the Idea
Glad you enjoyed it Samuel !
Thank‘s
Well done. Loved the wheels. 👍🏼
The wheels were for sure the coolest part

Hmmmmmmm, 4 years later......I gotta make some toys lol
parabens perfeito seu trabalho
This is dope!
Thanks guys!
Kinda want to make this for my nephews.
They will probably love it !
Very cool truck 👍
Glad you dig it Shaune!
This video is 4 years old now, how has the truck held up? toddlers are masters of destruction in my experience haha. Has it been tossed down a flight of stairs?
It’s a pile of dust. Only the tires survived hahaha

Best part of this video is you didn’t use the CNC machine !
Most of the people who follow you don’t have that kind of stuff .
We all have modest tools and wives who say we can’t afford that.
Keep on keeping it real !
Oh and I might make one of these
John Albrecht If you're list of honey dews includes projects for the wife on the CNC you can get one. 🤣
rchavez 505 do you have one ?
John Albrecht I do have one. Here is a video of my initial start up. It's based on Dave Gatton CNC. I hope you didn't take the comment the wrong way. I was just joking. The list of thing's to make now is really long. 😀 ua-cam.com/video/YmDRxOIDS8s/v-deo.html
Glad you enjoyed it John, I try and do the best of both. So im glad you could take something out of it
Hey John, if you are looking for some other toy ideas without a CNC machine, you are always welcome on my UA-cam channel! Come say hi!
Not sure if anyone else feels this, but yeah the cnc went down. Maybe not yeah for you John! But really cool build, enjoyed watching you not the cnc.
Was a blessing in disguise geting to show off all kinds of tips and techniques!
Awesome
Appreciate it !

Nice truck.
Appreciate it dan !
0:58 “Welcome to Jimbo’s Garage!” 😂
Itshouldusespring not woodforthemonstertruckabsorber
haha well it is a toy
Cool
Cool build. I know you said you freehanded the template but could you make a set of plans. This would be a great project for a rainy day.
It would be way too difficult with how many things i just added on late in the game. But woodcraft sells some plans similar to this one you might wanna check out
Your very awesome bro love your vids
Amazing build, do you have a pattern you can share? Thanks for the video!!!!
Cool build!
6:54 safety with John
Is it possible to have the plan for that truck?
HI JOHN you are very talented man ,I am making one but I could not fallow that tire making , what is the angle you set on miter gauge .please let me know ,Thank you John
Wow John, that's awesome! Love the truck! Oddly enough, I just posted a video making a Wooden Fire Engine with a CNC today. LOL, how weird is that! Take it easy and Happy Thanksgiving man!
I'll check it out Steve! Sounds awesome !
Sweet
Thank you so much, So gladd you enojoyed it
John, how do you get the wheels to spin, without the axel sliding back and forth. Spacers? Would love to make this. Thanks
That's an awesome truck! I know the challenge of designing vehicles in layers! I'm also making wooden models, on my bandsaw. You're always welcome on my UA-cam channel to take a look !
Thanks Jolien! I'll check em out
@@John_Malecki Thanks John, that would be awesome!❤
Do you have a pattern for this project?
I don’t normally put likes on videos. But when you added Old Glory I had to like your video!!
Dude I just found you and think your story is awesome! However, I don’t own half the tools lol awesome truck though my sons would love it
What did you use for axels? Wooden dowel or metal bolt/screw?
Great, an X rated video at 0.49. Guess the kids who will be getting these trucks can't watch the build here.
I say fuss. Haha but thank you for pointing that out
“Oh I can make that” my response every time my wife wants something. Great build John
hahahaha perfect! Exactly what i was looking for ! Thanks Brother!
Would turn better if the wheels wwre independent and not on a shared axle
Love thisone but culd you make a tractor🚜
Trucks only! haha a trasctor would be fun, but life size
Why didn’t you just use a 2 inch hole saw for the wheels?
OMG! 😍
Young malecki
What is the tool being used at 6:22?
Thats a hand plane
Wish you were my dad
Do it yourself, visit the Woodglut website and find out how.
I bet you played with Stompers when you were a kid....
Thanks Michael, I have no clue what those are but yes!
I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.
Nice
Do you have the measurements for it please?
