As a driver for 40 years out on the road I appreciate the detail in the woodworking I just got in and I made my first truck and trailer for my grandson and he just thought it was the greatest thing in the world and people were astonished on how I made it so I'm really getting back into this and wanting to learn more and thank you for the great work that you do
This makes me happy to see! As a carpenter, I was in Windsor Plywood (near the fair grounds), with one of the great guys that work there. We were discussing detail in furniture making, when he said, "Come over and check out this guys work!" Rick, happened to be there picking out some wood. The worker had him get out his phone and show me some of his projects. I was in 'AWE', as these were not your typical "Wood Toys"! He was very quiet and humble. I asked if he's ever been on the news or TV, and he said, "No. I just do this as a hobby. People see work I've done, then ask if I could make one for them." I told him about PBS's 'NW Profiles', and asked if he would care if I contacted them. He was unsure at first, but then said, that'd be fine after I told him people like me who appreciate great craftsmanship would love to see your work, I even kiddingly said "You OWE it to us...!" Let me say, because he was so quiet and "HUMBLE", it made me like him even MORE! He doesn't even have a website I could check out! Thanks PBS for shining a little light on another great NW Artist!!
dear sir I love your video I was wondering if you might make a Mac truck. B series and a dodge C series the box cement truck.fenders older one had 2 headlights in 1972 they used a paper plate trim around the single light
Rick you do what very few can do I am a Disabled Veteran here in Maine I have been trying for many years to set up a woodworking shop to make toys like you do for my self and other Veterans in my area but the VA says I can't cause it takes money to start it and it makes money when we sell what is made
whats your budget??? Im asking because it takes about 100 hours to build a nice semi with a trailer. Currently I just started a cabover. Gonna add a tanker to it

Sure celebrate a guy with a good imagination doing what he loves and finding a way to monetize it but don't pretend like these are toys for children to play with. This is an ad for an artist making art high end art pieces for wealthy or at very least well to do grown (likely retired) collectors who will use them as show pieces. I would bet the vast majority of ppl who buy this stuff never lay a finger on them except maybe when they rearrange their display.
I just noticed your post, and although I'm sure you mean well, it seems in THIS case, you've made a few inaccurate assumptions. Please check out my post above...
R Brophy so what’s wrong with that? Celebrating a master craftsmen for his beautiful craft??? Did you hear the part where he will give some away and lower the price significantly? Do you have any idea of the man hours put into this? You’re not paying for some wood, you’re paying for His imagination and his willingness to put in the time. He is in his right to charge several hundred dollars for these. The fact that he’s backlogged shows there people who truly appreciate quality art. If you want “toys” go to Walmart. These are heirloom quality wooden toys. He deserves whatever attention he gets. Don’t you think it’s well deserved? You don’t think it’s at the very least worth mentioning??? Honest craft, hobby, deserves respect.
