preprius Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 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? Me. Mark Eason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveww1 Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackman Posted February 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting more inspired when I see pieces like this, to take on another implement piece. Excellently done Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilgefisher Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Wooden toys are my favorite type of scrollsaw work. Well done on this, it looks great and thanks for a new source of patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguarguy Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 That is amazing! It would take me years to get something like that! Thanks for sharing (and starting the gears grinding in my head!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
