Been working on this off an on. Red Oak an Walnut. Finished by dipping in 50/50 BLO. Front blade goes up and down also the blade swivels left an right. Hardest part was making the tracks. You can’t see in pictures but the tracks are guided by wheels. The tracks turn also. Used Pegas MG #5. Used bandsaw to cut groves around the engine cover. 15”x9”x9” pattern from Toys & Joys.

Wow,

Those tracks seem to be alot of work.   Nice job.  I see you did quality tests in the dirt also.  

Some residual dirt is on the shelf and in the tracks. 

Is it better than tonka toys?

Fantastic JOB!

awesome job ! Dedication showing up there!

[daveww1]

very nice job, I made the dozer and the excavator. I made a few jigs to make the track parts which really helped making the tracks.

Nice job!  Lots of small details that really make it look great!

Absolutely top shelf project. Dedication and patients.

I love making toys and that one is a real winner!

Thanks for looking an the comments. I don’t know how you would make the parts for the tracks without a scroll saw.  Took more time getting the tracks so they turn then doing the main body

A really cool project. These wooden 'toys', for lack of a better term are so realistic. I am getting more inspired when I see pieces like this, to take on another implement piece. Excellently done

Wooden toys are my favorite type of scrollsaw work.  Well done on this, it looks great and thanks for a new source of patterns.

That is amazing!  It would take me years to get something like that!  Thanks for sharing (and starting the gears grinding in my head!)

[wombatie]

That is excellent.  You did an awesome job.
