My 1929 Model A Ford Huckster made from recycled oak skids and flooring. My biggest project to date and took me about 6 years to get it where I thought it was finished. While I was making the tool boxes and buying some period tools to go along with them, I had the produce bed you see in a couple of the pictures. It all started out as the bare chassis you see in the one picture and a question from my dear wife of: "And you see possibilities here?" It made Ford's 100th Anniversary web site, Sears tool catalogs because of the vintage tools I have and still use in my shop, AACA's web site, various news papers and even the Woodsmith Shop TV show. Alas a year ago I had to sell it because of spine and joint problems that made it uncomfortable to drive. Now it's over in Switzerland being enjoyed and driven.

Comment by Michael Ryan on July 18, 2016 at 11:55am: I miss it every time I go out thru the garage to do something. BUT I don't miss the discomfort it was giving me to drive it around. Rather somebody else get to enjoy it for a while. I haven't head from the new owners for about a year now so maybe she changed hands again. That project got me a very nice woodshop...again Thanks to my dear Wife. Thanks for looking her over Frank.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
