    Thanks for that, gives me ideas. My grandsons are all about cranes and tractors and trucks and track-hoes and... Well, maybe I am too.

    If you want to make wooden toys take a look at "The Great All American Wooden Toy Book". They have a crane and flat bed truck in addition to the following examples.

    Thanks, those look great. I do have some wooden toy books and one on turned toys. Good fun.

    I liked the design of the crane with the two working cranks and rotation.

    Thanks, I can see that now from the cover; ordered one just now from Amazon.

    I forgot if I mentioned it, but the OPs video was most interesting. I love to watch clever people build things!
