Steve Good tractor (I decided to oil it)
« on: June 20, 2013, 08:34:25 am »
I hid away in the garage yesterday instead of enjoying the sun and made this tractor during breaks from the lathe. It's from a Steve Good pattern. Still needs some finishing and I can't decide whether to paint it, varnish it or leave it as it is and chuck it in the corner. :mrgreen: It's made from a piece of wood that would be burglars broke off my gate, a bit of plywood, and the exhaust and axles are made from old paint brush handles.

looks great, and I compliment you on your scrounging abilities to get the wood to make it.

The wood color looks nice. Grain and all is good. I would keep it the natural color. Nice cutting. Thanks for sharing.
