I have build many of the original plan and have modified them into all types of trucks and trailers. this updated version just makes them even better to make and simpler to put together and always look professional. Kids (and Adults) always like a truck to look realistic and to enhance their play time. This plan does this. The only extra that could be added to this plan is to also have a version for the truck part of an articulated vehicle as many of the trailer plans from other plans are easily converted. This truck is loved because of its feel and size for great play value. Thank you

Love the files, but just wondering if there could be a conversion for millimeters, as thats what we work in New Zealand with, makes it hard when you have to find a way to work out the size conversion, but love the product thank you


Thanks for your comments, Lana!

Since we are in the USA our toy plans are dimensioned in inches. Most of our patterns are designed to be applied directly to the wood and then cut out and the measurements are not critical.

Our toys are designed to use millimeter materials with no adjustments required. Our pattern pages are also designed with adequate margins to print to A4 paper. We sell to customers all around the world.

All of the dimensions can vary + or – 1/16” or 2 millimeters without affecting the assembly. A good online English to Metric conversion tool online can be found here: http://www.simetric.co.uk/feet_to_metres.php. What is great about this conversion tool is you can enter English fractions without having to convert the fraction to a decimal.

Our plans are also designed with adequate margins to accommodate both 8-1/2” x 11” paper and A4 paper. It is recommended that you first print only one of the black line patterns page so you can make sure your printer is printing the patterns full-size. If you have trouble printing full-size that can be corrected by making sure your printer is set to print, Actual Size.

I would also recommend that you visit our Toymakers Forum: https://forums.toymakingplans.com/. We have members from all around the world and many use metric tools. If you join the forum you can ask questions regarding building the toys using metric tools and wood.
