    Well done , Robsys, they will keep a little child busy for hours. They look pretty solid and strong enough to withstand the rough treatment too!

    Well done indeed, your granddaughter is going to be over the moon with those. The truck looks good and I am thinking you might be interested in this website of one of our members. Some great plans available from there and real fun to make.
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John

    Look great. Mine loved the block trolley - pushed it all round the house.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    Default food for thought

    Hi RobSys.
    Its a great feeling when you see kids playing with toys you made, you have given yourself a life long contract now. Just a couple of things to think about if you dont mind me saying.
    1. I would get rid of the tip mechanism, its a scissor type finger jammer.
    2. I would put bigger wheels on the block trolley so it is easier to push around. I would move the handle further forward on the trolley body so it is harder to tip, keep the top of the handle in the same spot but round off the top of the handle and router/sand edges because sure as shooting they will bang their face on it at some stage.
    Again good work.
    Phil.

    G'Day "RobSys",
    Top effort but wow you're setting the bar high for yourself with the little granddaughter, experience speaking; as "pa" will be asked for all sorts of other things now which are bigger and better.
    It's a very enjoyable pass time so make the most of the fun while they are young.
    Cheers, Crowie
