This toy big rig can be customized with the child's name. You will need some experience with Inkscape to add a stencil font name to the pattern. The truck will be a little over 12" long. The project will need ten 1" wheels and axle pegs. The pattern includes instructions to cut the wheels and make your own axle pegs if you do not want to buy commercial toy wheels. Here is a link to Bear Woods 1" wheels. They also have axle pegs and other wheel selections.
Our Day Trip
I missed posting yesterday because we had a wonderful day trip. Patty, her sister Annie, and I went to Indiana's oldest herb farm. The farm's name is Stream Cliff Herb Farm. The farm is located in Commiskey Indiana. Commiskey is about 53 miles northeast of Louisville KY. You can take Interstate 65 north from Louisville or the scenic Route 3. We went Route 3 and the dive was beautiful.
None of us are wine drinkers but the winery-tasting building was beautiful and the hostess gave us good information on the rest of the farm's events.
Our first stop was the Twigs and Sprigs restaurant. Oh my! The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. It is a lunch menu and we all tried something different. They have specialty flavored teas and lemonade. I had the lemonade and the extra flavoring was just fantastic. I would make the 45 minute trip back just to have lunch. It was that good.
This is the main building of the farm. There are beautiful walking paths through the gardens. The gardens are maintained in a bit of a rustic way but they are beautiful.
This is the chapel on the farm. I think it is available for events and weddings.
There are three or four large greenhouses with the finest selection of flowers and herbs. The young lady who managed the greenhouses was extremely knowledgeable and helped me select my giant Alocasia plant for my office.
This is the plant I purchased for my office. It is over five feet tall and can get much larger depending on the size of the pot. We purchased a variety of flowers.
If you have the chance to visit this farm I believe you will enjoy the trip. I would say to plan about a half-a-day for the visit. Make sure you sign in to the restaurant early so you get seated for lunch.
Check out their web page for other events and offerings.
Stream Cliff Herb Farm
I purchased the Delta 40-694 back in 2020 to do a video review. I never completed the review because pandemic pressures increased the price too high to make it a good value. That has slowly changed and the price is currently a reasonable $430.46. When I purchased it in 2020 the price was $299 which was a great value for a mid-level saw. I don't believe we will see a price like that again but the current price is in line with saws of this quality.
There are a lot of things to like about the Delta 40-694. The dual parallel arm design reduces vibration. Upfront controls for easy access. Easy blade removal. The table bevels 45 degrees in both directions.
This saw very closely resembles the DeWalt DW788 and it performs just as well. If you are looking to upgrade from an entry-level saw this is one choice to take a look at.
Tyler over at the Artisan Pirate YouTube channel has a video showing the unboxing and assemble of the Delta 40-694. If you are considering this saw watch his video for lots of information.
