Toys for boys (really)

[Shane]

My grandson's first birthday is coming up, he's too young yet but I'm thinking of next year.

 

I've been looking at sit-on pedal powered/ 12v cars but nothing really novel.

 

I was thinking of making him a plywood tipper truck. Knowing how lacking I am in originality I'm wondering if anyone on here has done it already and might be able to make any suggestions, any piccies?.

 

Any help will be massively appreciated otherwise I'll be depending on my own design and engineering skills:thumbup:

 

Thanks in advance, and yes, I would like the tipper to work properly.

PS Yes I've seen the metal one that sold at Bonham's auctions ,very pre-unimog

I've got an electric ride in car you can have to modify or use for parts - the steering might come in useful

Yes please that sounds useful.

I'm currently bidding on a go Kart chassis which will form the basic start point.

 

Please feel free to PM your details and I'll arrange to collect it, happy to make a suitable donation for it.

Cheers
