Project Information
I built this for my grandson who will be four in September. It's made mostly from black walnut and red oak, and only has one coat of teak oil in the photos. Not sure if I should bother finishing it further since it will most likely be destroyed in a matter of days.
I took a SWAG at the size of actual dump truck tires, and figured 42 inches sounded about right. The toy tires are two inches in diameter, so that gave me a scale of 1:21 and I used that as a rough guide for the rest of the truck. It's 15" x 5-1/2" x 5-1/2".
