Heavy Equipment
« on: August 11, 2012, 08:33:59 am »
Okay, maybe not all that heavy!  Now my grandson will have something to haul on his truck.  The original pattern simply had the bucket rigidly attached to the arms, but having been a young boy once myself, I knew that a loader that doesn't dump is just a scooper!  So I modified it a bit to make it dump.  Hope to be able to give it to him this weekend.

He will absolutely adore it, it's great
It's all a case of "Mind over Matter",  The Government don't Mind, and I don't Matter.
