Small Fork Lift Truck

[Shultzy]

Just finished this for my nephew's birthday. Its made out of reclaimed wood; mahogany, I think, beech, and a bit of ply. The planer bed is 10" to give an indication of size. The main body is machined from one piece, and the wheels turned from a bit of curtain pole.

Nice work,but must admit to being very impressed with the ratchet and pawl for the wind-up mast

Nice one Shultzy - I bet he'll be well chuffed with that.

If one of my kids had it it'd be firewood within 24 hours. :evil:

Cheers

Very nice Shultzy.

Can you stick a pic up of that one you made years ago, the one you brought to Brad's Bash? That was awesome.

Tone the praise down I won't be able to get my head into the workshop :lol:

PowerTool, the ratchet mechanism was quite tricky with a lot of filing adjustment.

gasman, C26 is ok now, I think the overheating must have been due to voltage fluctuations.

TrimTheKing, especially for you :lol:

I like that. I used to make my own toys when I was a kid so I can see it being enjoyed.
