About 15-years ago I made one of these but have no idea who I gave it to or where the plans went, so I decided to model one in Rhino. I did have a few pictures of the last one that I got a few ideas. Mostly made out of Pine, but for strength, I made the main rails out of maple. The tires were made out of an old 2 x 6 Douglas fir.

Gary, That is quite an accomplishment, both in Rhino design and also in building.
Very impressive.

Re: Road Grader
yes... Great job on both the design and the implementation. I like it a lot.
Re: Road Grader
Very well done. I've been making a few model cars lately. Mostly a combination of CNC and traditional woodworking. They are a lot of fun to build.

Re: Road Grader
The level of detail is crazy good, Gary! Is this to be a gift for a lucky child?
