Kits by Jak the Tinker |
| These wooden models are made for collectors and not recommended for children. They are made by Jak the Tinker previously from Minnesota but currently living in Central America. He enjoys making these wagons & sleds and sells them to buy food, medicine and school supplies for very poor families in Central America. The wood is a combination of local pine, mahogany, red cedar and oak. The wheels are plastic and there are a few small metal pieces to make them look authentic and so the parts are movable. Click on the pictures for a slightly larger view. A few of these wagons are available as a kit for the people who like to assemble and finish with their own paint. More kits will be available soon. |
