How To Make A Wooden Toy Monster Truck

[@nikearth]

sweet. This'll live on for generations. More wooden toys! Thanks for sharing.

[@BigPunisher-hl2th]

I was asked to make a tank but I had no idea where to start. Thanks for the foundational idea!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Cool truck! He’s gonna love it. It reminds me of some of the old original Ford Broncos.

[@John_Malecki]

Love myself a good old ford bronco!

[@drewmcqueen932]

this came out great! MERICA!!! Hope Jack gets many years out of this awesome lil truck

[@John_Malecki]

I hope so too, knowing him tho, it will probably be destroyed as soon as he sees it

[@akquicksilver]

Cool build, Jack will love it! Reminds me of a 60's Bronco.

[@John_Malecki]

Haha yes I love the 60's broncos

[@billm4560]

Thinking the same thing JB... I have a 1970 Bronco! 😊 Nice build there John! 👍🏻

[@tn8141]

I think he's talking about the 60s Broncos football team

[@wayneblythe5713]

I now know what I want for my 42nd birthday.👍🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

[@mambobond]

I dig it! I'm sure that will be a favorite for years to come.

[@bobbyboone6606]

Probably one of the coolest builds I’ve seen on KZbin lately. Good stuff!

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you dig it my friend, I had a blast building it

[@gauravsondhisketchart9437]

Gorve

[@Aardrijk1]

That was actually pretty great! I lived the Old Glory sequence at the end. I'm sure the kid will love it!

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Jim, It was a fun cool project. Im glad you enjoyed it!

[@LuxusHomeCreations]

Love how you did the tires brother ;). Thanks for sharing

[@John_Malecki]

The tires are my favorite part, they came out awesome. I now wanna make them for my actual 250!

[@LumberZack]

Awesome build. Love the rock climbing Glamour Shots!

[@John_Malecki]

Yea man, they were a fun addition

[@tripn47]

cool! im planning to make this for my son! he’s a big fan of trucks

[@lionelhernandez34]

Ah man got my first grandson earlier this year, think I just may have a go at this myself. Thanks for the inspiration great video!

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you dig it, be sure to share how your truck comes out!

[@dougbeach7299]

You know you need to give that to your nephew. Looks like you need to build one for yourself as much fun you had while you were building it.

[@John_Malecki]

Yea he's going to love it !

[@ArtisanMadeDesigns]

That is awesome. I bet he will dig that truck.

[@John_Malecki]

Hes going to love it...... then I assume immediately destroy it!

[@freesteff2010]

Wow. Amazing job!

[@pegwinn]

That was pretty awesome. I especially like the football tuck on the router. Bold. Bold is good btw. Thanks for putting the build out.

[@muchlismuin7217]

I see this strong toys for my son.. Thank you for your genius idea... Brother! 😁🇲🇨

[@jridges9956]

That’s awesome and actually looks like something that I can make

[@Foundinwood]

A great toy. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulasmith64]

Awesome. You dida amazing job. I'm going to take some of your ideas, and build a convertible 4x4 for my granddaughters 14 inch dolls to ride in. Wish me luck.

[@sdworks1600]

Very cool truck 👍

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you dig it Shaune!

[@benrudman3917]

Dude I FREAKING LOVE this. Badass man.

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Ben!

[@barnyardkh4]

Awesome truck! I love the sipped tires! One weakness I've learned with the trucks that my dad built for me and those in my 2 boys collections, over the years, the axles may be a bit on the light side. When he sits on it ( and he will sit on it and try to ride it at least once!), they may break. The wheels and axle block are so big on this truck though, it would be really easy to go back in with bigger diameter dowels (or steel rods?!) the next time.

[@John_Malecki]

Good thought bother i'll for sure keep that in mind !

[@marvinvogel1985]

Hi Jack This is awesome. I have a great idea on how to give it a new twist and make it more interesting

[@krzysztofccc2705]

Szanowny Panie Janie Malecki - fajna robota! Pozdrawiam serdecznie.

[@humancattoy7767]

This is awesome. I'd like to see more builds like this.

[@BevelishCreations]

This is such a good idea for the Christmas season! Love it man

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you like it , I agree. Awesome for the holidays !

[@nickq615]

Great video John. I've always wanted to build stuff like this, not only for my kiddos but to give away to others. That beautiful flag at the end of the video was the best addition! 'merica

[@John_Malecki]

Haha we thought the same , the flag at the end was awesome hah

[@mdbohica]

'MURICA!! Great job John !!

[@samuelbelschner5124]

Hey John !!! That‘s soooo... cool !!! I Love the Idea

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you enjoyed it Samuel !

[@samuelbelschner5124]

Thank‘s

[@dickhead402]

A present that's made means more than you think to someone handmade no matter what it is means more than you ever would think it would that's a awesome truck u made

[@FredMcIntyre]

Really awesome John! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks so much Fred, Glad you dig it my friend

[@DavidBishopinc]

Well done. Loved the wheels. 👍🏼

[@John_Malecki]

The wheels were for sure the coolest part

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job keep up the good work

[@rjmills126]

Cool truck. Love the flag touch. Great stuff!

[@CraveCraft]

Nice trick on the tire treads!

[@gasiakourieh8708]

Great Video!! 👍😍👍 I gotta make one for my nephew.

[@marceaton3128]

That was a cool build, Mr. Malecki. Loved the Flag.

[@8loon]

Was scrolling KZbin on my Xbox and saw this wooden truck video, I thought it might be cool to watch, then I realized it was Squirrel Nation and I knew it would be 😎

[@FranksDIY]

Nice job now you can help Santa out haha. Great fun making those . In the past I myself have made canoes and other toys similar to that and It was fun. Maybe it's time to make another to go along side yours John. LOVE the BUILD

[@John_Malecki]

That sounds so awesome, this project was so fulfilling its almost hard to explain. But I had a blast doing it !

[@Woodden]

Jack is going to have many many hours of fun

[@John_Malecki]

Yea i hope he loves it !

[@lincolnelectrictv]

This is dope!

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks guys!

[@Robc509]

Amazing!

[@KennethColeStatenIsland]

Nice job, ty

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Kenneth

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

This would have absolutely been my favorite xmas present as a kid! Awesome detail and build John!

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks ethan, i wouldve loved one of these too!

[@GibClark]

👍👍👍👍 cool tire makin jig

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Brother !

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Great little build, brother! Fun to see you doing something so small :)

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks dude, doesn't always have to be huge!

[@rustymarrow]

That’s awesome 🤩

[@ThoenWorks]

Great build John. 😎. Reminded me of a toy combine (farmer thing 😁) my father built me when I was a youngster..

[@John_Malecki]

That sounds so cool!

[@CLoveIN123]

Love it! This has inspired me to make my kids something this year for Christmas. Something like this would also be a cool challenge for the podcast lIsteners to take part in or a MFP vs Modern Makers challenge.

[@John_Malecki]

Not a bad idea, not a bad idea at all

[@Wagsky]

Cool build!

[@anthonytriola437]

Dude, you’re awesome! Great build!! It’s midnight here but all of a sudden I want to punch my next project in the face!!!

[@John_Malecki]

Thats what im talking about Anthony! Punch your sleep in the face!

[@danchandler9381]

Nice truck.

[@John_Malecki]

Appreciate it dan !

[@GibClark]

Hmmmmmmm, 4 years later......I gotta make some toys lol

[@rodrigomadrugasantos9216]

parabens perfeito seu trabalho

[@willarid1]

Awesome

[@John_Malecki]

Appreciate it !

[@brucebonkowski3037]

excellent truck I love to get the plans I was going yo ask about maybe a stainless Philip screw to the axle as a hubcaps

[@windx9468]

Your very awesome bro love your vids

[@bbft1968]

Dear John Malecki, i'm a brazilian guy and my english is very poor, but i would like to say that this toy is very cool.

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Bruno!

[@paulocaldas2390]

Is it possible to have the plan for that truck?

[@manjotsingh8970]

Nice

[@tfwoodcraft]

This video is 4 years old now, how has the truck held up? toddlers are masters of destruction in my experience haha. Has it been tossed down a flight of stairs?

[@John_Malecki]

It’s a pile of dust. Only the tires survived hahaha

[@tfwoodcraft]

@@John_Malecki I made a little jeep out of solid maple - used the silhouette CJ logo for the shape of it - and it's been broken and glued back together a few times already. haha. I think only those old metal tonka trucks can survive a toddler's wrath.

[@rchavez5056]

Great job. Paint the tips of the stacks black.

[@John_Malecki]

Yea i shouldve drilled them out, it was last minute late addition so i dropped the ball there

[@SteveCarmichael]

Wow John, that's awesome! Love the truck! Oddly enough, I just posted a video making a Wooden Fire Engine with a CNC today. LOL, how weird is that! Take it easy and Happy Thanksgiving man!

[@John_Malecki]

I'll check it out Steve! Sounds awesome !

[@mathewabraham1701]

HI JOHN you are very talented man ,I am making one but I could not fallow that tire making , what is the angle you set on miter gauge .please let me know ,Thank you John

[@twagner6155]

It sounds like wood heresy but I'm going to make my truck with long tenons at every joint. I have been making cabinets and furniture since '73 and am making a monster truck out of white oak. I'm starting a business doing cabinet work and have a channel called T wagner on KZbin. Wood has both seasonal movement and shrinks over time not to mention moving even more if it's not dry.

[@jeffkodysz4309]

Completely and utterly awesome! Makes me want grandkids to make stuff like this for. Just wondering why you had to readjust the fence to cut the wheels? Unless I'm missing something, couldn't you have cut all eight pieces that make up the wheels the same, flip four of them around and then glue them together?

[@theanimalmuppet]

Sweet

[@John_Malecki]

Thank you so much, So gladd you enojoyed it

[@joevastine1814]

John, how do you get the wheels to spin, without the axel sliding back and forth. Spacers? Would love to make this. Thanks

[@rayatlast]

Cool

[@jackloganbill605]

Amazing build, do you have a pattern you can share? Thanks for the video!!!!

[@jeremyspecce]

Kinda want to make this for my nephews.

[@John_Malecki]

They will probably love it !

[@shanethompson4865]

What did you use for axels? Wooden dowel or metal bolt/screw?

[@drakevonseggern695]

6:54 safety with John

[@johnalbrecht3831]

Best part of this video is you didn’t use the CNC machine ! Most of the people who follow you don’t have that kind of stuff . We all have modest tools and wives who say we can’t afford that. Keep on keeping it real ! Oh and I might make one of these

[@rchavez5056]

John Albrecht If you're list of honey dews includes projects for the wife on the CNC you can get one. 🤣

[@johnalbrecht3831]

rchavez 505 do you have one ?

[@rchavez5056]

John Albrecht I do have one. Here is a video of my initial start up. It's based on Dave Gatton CNC. I hope you didn't take the comment the wrong way. I was just joking. The list of thing's to make now is really long. 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j56ng6uFfqmGbtU

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you enjoyed it John, I try and do the best of both. So im glad you could take something out of it

[@JolienBrebels]

Hey John, if you are looking for some other toy ideas without a CNC machine, you are always welcome on my KZbin channel! Come say hi!

[@christianalbert101]

Dude I just found you and think your story is awesome! However, I don’t own half the tools lol awesome truck though my sons would love it

[@natemorton5575]

Cool build. I know you said you freehanded the template but could you make a set of plans. This would be a great project for a rainy day.

[@John_Malecki]

It would be way too difficult with how many things i just added on late in the game. But woodcraft sells some plans similar to this one you might wanna check out

[@phil3332]

After all that work I think that l would probably keep it for myself.... The only thing that l wasn't sure about was should you of used thicker dowel for the axle wheels

[@dylangriffith6662]

0:58 “Welcome to Jimbo’s Garage!” 😂

[@MikeytheMaker]

“Oh I can make that” my response every time my wife wants something. Great build John

[@John_Malecki]

hahahaha perfect! Exactly what i was looking for ! Thanks Brother!

[@ewayne1527]

Do you have a pattern for this project? I don’t normally put likes on videos. But when you added Old Glory I had to like your video!!

[@davidhitt5364]

Not sure if anyone else feels this, but yeah the cnc went down. Maybe not yeah for you John! But really cool build, enjoyed watching you not the cnc.

[@John_Malecki]

Was a blessing in disguise geting to show off all kinds of tips and techniques!

[@zigaselan4985]

Love thisone but culd you make a tractor🚜

[@John_Malecki]

Trucks only! haha a trasctor would be fun, but life size

[@JolienBrebels]

That's an awesome truck! I know the challenge of designing vehicles in layers! I'm also making wooden models, on my bandsaw. You're always welcome on my KZbin channel to take a look !

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Jolien! I'll check em out

[@JolienBrebels]

@@John_Malecki Thanks John, that would be awesome!❤

[@counselingmom]

What is the tool being used at 6:22?

[@researchandbuild1751]

Thats a hand plane

[@issy9617]

Do you have the measurements for it please?

[@APHRODITEEEEEE]

OMG! 😍

[@researchandbuild1751]

Would turn better if the wheels wwre independent and not on a shared axle

[@lukefinlayson1867]

Why didn’t you just use a 2 inch hole saw for the wheels?

[@รุ้งจูนคําพันธ์]

It​should​use​spring not wood​for​the​monster​truck​absorber​

[@John_Malecki]

haha well it is a toy

[@tombaker3794]

Great, an X rated video at 0.49. Guess the kids who will be getting these trucks can't watch the build here.

[@John_Malecki]

I say fuss. Haha but thank you for pointing that out

[@gracenjuguna7292]

Young malecki

[@ronbeck201]

You made a big stomper

[@summeryspade1541]

Wish you were my dad

[@robemich1]

I bet you played with Stompers when you were a kid....

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Michael, I have no clue what those are but yes!

[@pierluigicolotto9570]

I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.

[@syedhasan6548]

Nice
