Andy Bird - Vintage Vehicles

Andy Bird Builds helps people make money with CNC, whether you’re doing it as a full-time job or a side hustle. Andy believes in empowering people by teaching them how to earn income using their skills and creativity. His mission is simple: to help you get paid for what matters most to you, whether that's making custom furniture, building toys for kids, or crafting jewellery.

In this project, Andy Bird Builds brings nostalgic classics to life by designing and machining three vintage-inspired wooden vehicles on his CNC. From rugged pickups to sleek sports cars and an iconic military Jeep, Andy walks through the full process, from tracing silhouettes in Vectric to cutting, sanding, assembling, and painting. The result is a set of push-along toys that not only look great on display but are also durable enough for kids to play with. Whether you follow along with Andy’s free project files or design your own dream ride, this project is a fun way to mix creativity with CNC craftsmanship.
