Fire truck plan for Grandson

Since revitalizing my interest in woodworking and now being blessed with a Grandson, I am wondering if any of you all know where I can find the plans for the hook and ladder truck that was featured in Hands On and I believe it was in the same issue as the Classic Train. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Eric

Is this the Toy Train you are looking for?

That be the one!! There was also a beautiful hook and ladder truck that was featured as well. That is the fire truck I am looking for.

Hi Eric,

The train appeared a couple of times in Hands-On, but the fire engine (a neat hook-and-ladder truck) appeared only once that I am aware of, the Nov/Dec 79 Hands-On issue.

The train and the fire engine plans were both reprinted in the book Woodworking Projects I. ISBN 0-937558-12-5. It is long out of print but reasonably priced used copies are often available on-line.

I hope this helps,

Dennis

It is great having grand kids, isn't it? Gives you an opportunity to make something for them that might one day become an heirloom. I made a Jenny Lind cradle for one of my grandsons and it has been passed along to 3 other grandchildren as needed.

I have a book called Woodworking Projects 1 from SS. It is ISBN 0-87857-615-0 paperback or ISBN 0-87857-618-5 hardback. If you need a copy of the plans I can send you a PDF.

Well, how about that, Shopsmith fans. Yes, Woodworking Projects I and II were published and I have both. I have not used them but I will.

Both the Fire Engine and the Train are in Woodworking Projects I.
