George's Truck

thingiverse

Uncle George (1943-1968), who lived in an Ozarks one-room farm house, owned this truck as a toy; its price of $0.35 remains on it. After recreating it in Sketchup for the grand-nephews he never met, I considered 3D printing at a cost of $1.45, but knew it wouldn't last like the original. The full-scale Sketchup design is ideal for woodcraft enthusiasts, while the printed version is one-third scale.
