    Default Wood working plans

    Hi all, new to this site. I'm looking for plans to build/make wooden models of construction equipment, (NOT TOYS) but something more involved. Are there any scale model plans out there? I have just the usual home mans shed with a small bandsaw and bench drill etc. Any help would be great, thanks

    Luc St-Amour has published several books on construction machines. I made his digger which wasn't to bad, the tracks are solid and don't move though, if you want the moving versions the skill level required goes up a bit I'd imagine. Welcome to the wood work forums btw.

    Thanks for your reply. Slowly getting organised. Are you from NZ, my wife moved to Australia in 1996 from Waihi Beach, North Island where I had been working in a gold mine for the last 6 years.
    Regards, dozeron.
