You're right Sharon ... count me "blown away"! :eek:

I headed for southern Utah early on Wed, July 27 for a 3+ day youth conference. My wife said your package arrived the next day, as you predicted. I opened the package on Saturday afternoon, but after miles of hiking and biking and 3 nights in a tent I was in no shape to do much of anything ... but take a nap.

I was busy all day Sunday too, but finally took advantage of the overcast evening sky to grab a few "in situ" pics of your impressive piece of wooden machinery:

Thanks for a very cool (and well made :thumb:) toy!
 
Sharon, that is way cool. :clap: That's more than "OK", especially for a first try. I like the way you did the cab and hood, and the dumping bed is a great touch. Keep this up, and you'll be building that dining room table yourself. :D
 
Love it Sharon !:thumb: Working dump box and tailgate-awesome. I might also have to copy this if you don't mind. Great job. Now I wish I had gotten into this swap too. Definitely next time.
 
Thanks everyone. It was fun to use power tools. In the olden days, I only had hand tools to build stuff (hammer, saw, hand cranked drill, etc.). Of course I had a great mentor who's only goal was not having to explain to the group how I lost fingers or broke my hands.

Yes cherry and maple. Brent donated one of his reject cutting boards for the cab and hood.

Oh, and I got my toy from Jonathan today. Pictures to follow soon (teaser...good thing Brent was wearing glasses, or I might have put his eye out :rofl::rofl::rofl:) :thumb::thumb:
 
Okay, you found the ammo and knew how to use it???!!!:thumb::thumb:
Uhm, that is why there is a pair, so you best put on some glasses also!!!
Hope you like them and have fun, that is what they are for. :thumb::thumb:

While Jonathan may not be top notch in wrapping up packages...he's top notch in woodworking (remind me to buy stock in Duck Tape)

At first, I couldn't figure out why he sent me a few shirts (or maybe they were meant for Brent) :rofl::rofl:

But low and behold he made two Marshmallow guns for Brent and I to have war games with

Thank you so much Jonathan...great job for great fun :thumb::thumb::thumb:
Side note, I was oddly able to walk up on three cottontail rabbits (within 10') and they didn't run. They were all busy munching on marshmallows and just enjoying themselves :rofl::rofl:
 
It's not over yet boys Lady and Gentlemen, still a couple of recipients left to report in... :thumb:
