This is the second of two jeeps that I made using plans from Toys and Joys (with modifications). This one is a little more “off road” then the first one I posted a couple days ago, with the top off and more extreme tires. Like the first one it is made from Alder and Walnut with a little bit of Padouk for the tail lights.
One of the interesting steps in making this one was the side roll bars. The plan showed making them from seperate pieces of 3/8” dowel, mitering the ends and glueing them together. But that didn’t really give them a smooth look and gluing dowels together on the end grain doesn’t always work so well. So, I cut the shape out of 3/8” material on the scroll saw and then ran them accross a 3/16” corner round bit to make them circular. I think they came out better that way.
These jeeps have been on my workbench for quite awhile so I’m looking forward to moving on to the next project.
Thanks for looking.

Again, I wanted to grab a door handle, get in and go for a spin
Both jeeps are the result of a real craftsman enjoying his time

Awesomesauce! I got to build one of these.
Just need a little lift on it, bigger tires, and a narrow from bumper and it could pass for my ‘13 JKU.
