Making an Ambulance Toy

[@williambuckley1185]

Fantastic Kenny, I see it that you have a very good imagination and the ability to put it into practice. It is very kind of you to spend time making the design and sharing it for free. If you change the wheels, could you possibly show how to do the mew ones? Thanks for your videos I appreciate them.

You are not the only one to request seeing my wheel upgrade on this toy William. Sounds like it deserves a show of its own. Thanks for tuning in this week and for the kind words.

Hi Kenny, nice job with the ambulance. Always like the laser embellishment. Yes agree about the wheels needing work.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

My initial thought was that I didn't want the tires to take away from the ambulance build but they ended up taking away from it anyway because they look so out of place. Thanks for tuning in Philip. It's appreciated.

Kenny, nice design and toy. I think kids are going to love it. Seems like a great project to donate to a children’s hospital. I agree about the wheels, I hope you show you embellishments if you make them or include them on the plans.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

For now, the plans are just the plain wheels but I'm thinking an extra episode to show making the improved version might be in the works. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words Paul.

Another Funtastic Friday tutorial Kenny. I was disappointed with the wheels and then you too thought better of it 🥰. Can’t wait to see how you go with the new ones. 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

The toy has a certain amount of detail and the wheels look like something from the stone ages. Gotta fix that for sure. Thanks for tuning in Troy.

Cute project! I like the laser touch! You are the toy King Kenny!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

The laser definitely added a sense of realism to it....except for those darned tires. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Dennis and for the kind words.

[@davenewkirk1642]

That's a great looking toy

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks Dave. Thanks for tuning in as well.

The back part of the ambulance - at least in my area - is referred to as "The Box". Nice plan and well done.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

That's good to know. I have no idea what it is called in my area. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with the information. It's appreciated.

[@MrSCOTTtheBADGER]

I like it!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad to hear it Scott. Thanks for tuning in.

Nice little toy, our ambulances look a lot different to yours.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

When I was googling images of ambulances, I was actually surprised at the different styles of ambulances from around the world. I ended up modelling it after our local units. Thanks for tuning in Mark.

[@pdwoodwerkz9625]

A terrific toy and a simple, yet detailed design. I really like the concept and I also agree with you that the wheels could stand a bit of detail added to them. Perhaps only a layered impression of a rim and a tire. A neat idea . Thanks Kenny for the inspiration. Did you consider creating the laser pattern in Creative Space or is Lightburn your go to Laser CAD/CAM? Are you posting the "plan" to your website? See ya next Tuesday!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I will be posting the pdf file for the ambulance to the website but the Lightburn can't be posted there and is only available via email. I have not tried XCS for the design of the toy. I much prefer Lightburn to any laser software. It's just what I am familiar with. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@JimLambier]

If you replace the tires, you could use 'TOY-O' tires.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Ba-dum-bum. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Jim and for the chuckle.

[@MrSCOTTtheBADGER]

Gonna make a heavy rescue to go with it?

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I am not. LOL.

[@armandovaldez9148]

Me gusta mucho sus trabajo yo hago carritos de madera me podria mandar los planos por favor

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I would be more than happy to share it with you. Are you looking for the Lightburn file or the pdf of the pattern? Also, where would you like me to send it? Thanks for tuning in.
