    Default My first toy crane.

    Finally finished this for a friends son. It will lift well over its own weight.

    That looks fantastic. Is it your design or from a plan?
    Well done

    Thanks for your kind words everybody. I just made it as I went along. I started with the boom and scaled everything else roughly around that. When I get home I'll upload some more pics. I'm pretty happy with the brake mechanism. It works well and is uncomplicated for a kid to operate.
