Excavator for Grandpa

Christmas is coming—I can hardly wait!!! It has been fun in the girls shop the past few months making presents for family. We have a shop for the boys (i.e. men folk where all kinds of things happen including motorcycle and tractor repair, car repair, woodworking) and a separate shop for the girls (where the female half of the family do our wood projects). This keeps everyone happy since no one is upset about borrowed, misplaced, or broken tools. This fall I made a series of wooden toys and painted them in bright colors for the grandkids. Now hubby for sure wants to play with the grandkids, so he needs a toy too. Here is an excavator for my hubby, the Grandpa to my fabulous grandkids. The excavator is made of maple and walnut—Natural wood finish. Here are the overall dimensions:
■ 19 3 ⁄16” long ×6” wide × 6 7⁄16” high with the bucket
at ground level
■ Bucket capacity:
Approx. .00008 cu. yd. (3.75 cu. in.)
■ Boom reach: 14”
■ Dig depth: 8 1⁄4”
■ Engine rated at 1 kidpower, continuous.
