Excavator

Very nice. I’m just finishing up the mobile crane and I’m trying to decide if I want to do the excavator or the bulldozer next. Nice work.

Thanks. I also made the mobile crane. It was a hit with the kids also.

It looks great, I have a 4 year old grandson who would love one just like it! Did you work from a plan or make up the dimensions yourself?
I’d love to give it a try, but I’m not confident I could work it out myself.

The project plan is in 2009 issue of WOOD. It is also on line at WOOD store.net The only problem I had was Hobby Lobby had the big wheels but do not carry the axles for the larger wheels. I buy the wheels individually then CA glue them together to get the dual wheels. It saves a lot of money. I did order my axles from Meisels hardware specialties. I believe they have the wheels too. WOOD also has a wooden crane which I built. The only modification I did on the crane was instead of using a lazy susan, I used a nylon washer which worked better.

Looks good. Very nicely done. Thanks for posting.

God Bless
