Rocking Tractor

Project by archie18 posted 381 days ago 432 views 6 times favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I try to build one special Christmas gift for great nephews/nieces each year. Having built a couple of normal rocking horses I tried something new for my farming nephew’s son. Built with combination of walnut,plywood, and cherry. All wood except for screws.

Beautifully built rocking tractor!
By now you should start thinking of the next year’s gift project.

Thanks for sharing.

This would really go over big her. I live in a farming community in the largest agricultural area in Norway. The kids here (including many girls) are crazy about tractors. I would certainly build something like it if my grandkids were young enough. Nice job.
