I might be wrong but I'm starting to get a little worried....
I know you do good work but have you ever built something like the grader with with all those parts? I tell'a there's been a couple times where I almost gave up and I sure would hate to see you go though that....
I've got 5 weeks of hard work into my project and was wondering how long it might take you?

if you really want to build a road grader I think you would be much happier with the one from Toy's and Joy's.....there easy to follow plans and you can have a nice model in a week or two..

(I hope Fred doesn't mind me borrowing his pictures..)

eather way I behide you 100%....

you know me...I had to go with the one with more parts.....
now you can see the difference between this one and the one we're doing...
I have to say the road grader I'm doing now almost made me give up model building all together....

one more Gatto pattern (Mack truck) and a T&J's (low bed trailer) then I'm done with model building!

Hey Trout, I like detailed things. You can tell that by looking at my Shopiere Clock. I Also used to build model cars from kits and detail them. I have one in the shop that I need to take a pix of the engine. It has plug wires, in firing order, vaccum lines and fuel lines. BTW I like your other grader.

Hey Merle it looks like your snarling at the camera man in the picture is that because they made you hold a pink ribbon? Just kidding really nice looking clock and good luck with your grader.

Hey Merle,
Did you make the table as well?

Haggard3230 · 02-23-2009, 11:54 PM

Yes, the only piece of furniture I ever made. The story behind that was my wife said the I could get the clock pattern if I also made the table for her. She received the table for Christmas that year, then I built the clock.
