Make a Toy Front Loader - Free Plans

Plans: www [dot] krtwood [dot] com/plans/frontendloader.zip

[@gordroberts53]

Really well thought out. I have two brand new great-nephews and thinking if i start soon, by the time they're 3 or 4, I'll have a small collection of toys for them. Thanks for sharing!

[@MRrwmac]

All sold - oh no (tear tear sniffle sniffle). My g'daughter loves cars and trucks (wonder where she got that ...hmmm) so I was gonna buy one but no problem I'm very glad you sold them so quick and donated the majority! Thanks for doing that and for sharing the video of the build!

[@guyward5137]

That's a great looking toy and that you give away so many is proof that there are some good people still out there. Thank you for sharing. Guy

[@douglasschmitt6645]

I received the Front Loader today! Thank you it is very nice! I'm sure my granddaughter will love playing with the loader. It will make a nice addition with the wood toys I've made her.

[@krtwood]

Glad you like it :)

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I'm continually impressed by your production line! And it's nice to see a proud father...

[@krtwood]

Peter Brown I much prefer doing toys as a one of, but at least with so many parts to make there is always some different task to switch to.

[@mcremona]

That's awesome! I love seeing your mass production techniques. Thanks!

[@krtwood]

Matthew Cremona Thanks!

[@ShavingsandAwl]

Fantastic project. Really enjoyed the commentary, running 8 units through the table saw at once was a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@krtwood]

Thanks!

[@woodworkingplans2780]

It really looks very complicated, but in the end looks beautiful, nice toy!

[@jakejacobs652]

Thats an excellent project. I have made a grader and dump truck and now I have the plans to make a front end loader Thanks I enjoy watching your videos Cheers

[@krtwood]

Jake Jacobs Thanks!

[@J-WHO312]

Great vid! I made a semi truck and trailer for my final grade in high school out of scrap wood. Glad I found your video.

[@krtwood]

cool!

[@Shopbuilt]

Really enjoyed this, great design and build.

[@krtwood]

Thanks!

[@JohnHeisz]

Great project and techniques!

[@krtwood]

Thanks, John!

[@MichaelCoolidge]

Looks great. Glad to see some of the insights on how to do this mass production style as well.

[@terrencemarume7112]

cool

[@TedAlexander24]

Im sure kids love the front end loader. And you always produce great videos.

[@krtwood]

Thanks!

[@k2thah286]

Workflow FTW, nice job KRT!

[@MrLeonard55]

What about using a 1/8" aluminum or brass rod instead of an 1/8" wood dowel?

[@CarlJacobson]

Very cool! That's awesome that your donating them, they'll love it. LOL "She's got your bucket" Good stuff!

[@krtwood]

Her bucket really looks nothing like his, but what can you say? ;)

[@rogerr4678]

Great video...The amount of tools and equipment you have is amazing. I have to make do with work arounds for almost everything due to the lack tools.. or shall i say lack of money to buy these awesome tools 🤣

[@roberto7624b]

Felicidades, eres Ud. todo un artista que hermoso trabajo..

[@OneWoodAuwoodworking]

Fantastic, love the production line

[@jplailu]

Excellent project! Nice workflow!

[@norm1124]

Your videos are great, very nice explanations. Thank you for sharing.

[@kimstuart-gregory1450]

Wow what a beautifully made toy! Your videos are really fantastic, thanks so much for sharing. Loved the happy dance your big loader was doing holding the baby girl loader at the end too ;)

[@krtwood]

Thanks!

[@ConstructIcon]

"March of the wooden loaders"... Good job!

[@krtwood]

Thanks!

[@yaseerawaqas9083]

This is good but I cannot make them at home. So, can I get something like wooden tankers, trailer, and rescue ladder? The model should be uniquely assembled and the toys must look elegant.

[@reinaldotorres-velez8940]

Nice Work, really good design and easy to follow

[@dorinases]

Very nice! I would love to make this for my boys but I can’t seem to get the plan .. do you still have it? Thank you :)

[@AndreaArzensek]

Beautiful and for good cause! Take care, Andrea A.

[@krtwood]

Andrea Arzensek Thanks!

[@stevecollins9450]

Really well done video and instruction!

[@oslogutt80]

Great project. Do you still have plans for this? :)

[@johnturner5753]

[@rickmccaskill7888]

Do you still offer the plans? I don’t see them on your website. Thank you.

[@marceloscandaroli3145]

Very cool, thanks for sharing !

[@SkullyWoodMetal]

Great idea and thanks for mass production demo too. You know if you give a kid one of these you'll have requests to build more.

[@krtwood]

Thank you!

[@MeestahJones]

How many hours went into making 25?

[@andrewjames7439]

Rocking the baby front loader made me laugh. Good stuff dude.

[@krtwood]

Andrew James I was going to start handing it 25 kids and have it freak out and run away, but I decided to go with the happy ending :)

[@omaromar-lg3yu]

Great project....Can i get thé plan .pdf plan please?

[@SapoSolex]

Joli travail. Merci pour la video

[@darbinorvar]

Great video and toy!

[@krtwood]

Thanks, Lynn!

[@AdventuresInDIY]

Cool project. Thanks for sharing. You had me laughing at the end with the happy front loader :)

[@prabhakaranag2891]

What is the wood name brother

[@woodfather]

Woah, realy cool! Did you design them from scratch or evolve another model?

[@krtwood]

Thanks! It a design I came up with a couple years ago for my nephew. Pretty much just from looking at pictures of the real thing, I may have looked at some other toy designs for inspiration too, I don't recall. I've been using that style of cab on all his construction vehicles.

[@whitewolf8758]

Wow that is an awesome toy loader! Are there plans for other upcoming wooden heavy equipments? You did a very nice job on them!!

[@krtwood]

I'd like to make the toy donation an annual event so you can probably expect at least one a year. I've made a bunch for my nephew over the years, some are simpler than this and some are more complicated. I would also really like to experiment with making some lego style linear actuators and universal joints so they can actually work like the real thing.

[@miltonlima0022]

muito bem feito...

[@CMRWoodworks]

Very cool and fun to watch!

[@Mcp960]

Sir skethep file is not opening how can open that file

[@eddiegiraldo785]

vacanisimos felicitaciones

[@MRrwmac]

Maybe I missed it but did you say how you made the wheels or if you bought them at a craft store? Thanks again!

[@krtwood]

The wheels and axle pegs are store bought. Pretty much all the usual woodworking supply places carry them.

[@rafaelmendezbuelna2379]

Fantástico, Acabo de ser abuelo y quiero hacerle juguetes de madera a mi nieto. Gracias por esta oportunidad que me obsequias.

[@Goldinton]

nice

[@vemmeke]

Great toy! Is it possible to get more detailed plans for making it?

[@krtwood]

You should be able to figure it out based on the drawing and the video. If you have specific questions I can try to answer them.

[@Mauroiltornitore]

Great!!

[@gregeastman6662]

well that sucks mine wont download

[@dubocedward7301]

it's a beautiful toys !

[@mikeerceg5888]

Hello, can you please send me the link to download SketchUp I'm not good on devices, thanks Michael

[@krtwood]

+Mike Erceg it's at sketchup.com but try this jpg instead of sketchup. You should be able to get most/all of the info you would get from the model from this. www.krtwood.com/plans/frontendloader.jpg

[@philipdaelman1684]

Prachtig gemaakt .That's cool.

[@Habman65]

What a great video! Had some awesome batch work, excellent tips & warnings so we don't encounter any growing pains. Thank you for sharing the Sketchup file also.

[@krtwood]

Thanks!

[@l3ender15]

Beautiful! How did you finish them?

[@krtwood]

I left them unfinished because it's unclear whether there are any finishes that wouldn't require testing under the law. It sounds like shellac would be exempt but I haven't had the best of luck applying that on complex shapes. I probably just would have done a spray lacquer otherwise.

[@farrukhathar5540]

Dear Sir, What is the software you are using at 00:22 mins? How can i learn that? Greetings.

[@krtwood]

SketchUp

[@alonsiu]

excelente!

[@guitar5guitar]

Looks awesome man! Keep up the videos and great work!

[@guitar5guitar]

Just bought one of the loaders...can't wait to get it! Hopefully there will be more wooden toy projects in the future!

[@krtwood]

guitar5guitar I really appreciate the support!

[@omaromar-lg3yu]

Plans are unavailable ?

[@philipdaelman1684]

Prachtig gemaakt .

[@MrLeonard55]

Nicely done.

[@krtwood]

MrLeonard55 Thank you!

[@beast33182]

How can I use sketchup file to build this toy? Thanks!

[@krtwood]

beast33182 You need the program SketchUp to open it. I can't give you a tutorial on how to use the program but basically you can turn off the layers to isolate individual parts and get whatever dimensions you need. I think the file has most of the dimensions you might need already labelled.

[@silmarartesanatos]

perfect

[@johnzzhu]

Nice scale up approaches, K. It was as if the toy was designed to the specification of the tools you had. hmmm.

[@krtwood]

Though all you really need is a table saw, small band saw, and drill press.

[@johnzzhu]

I am a little disappointed they sold out, I wanted to buy one for my son. May be next time.

[@krtwood]

You can always build one :)

[@johnzzhu]

ha! good one, my version would probably end up looking like a 300 BC horse drawn carriage and take 3 months to complete.

[@krtwood]

The Nomadic Polywright Show Well, I would like to see that then :)

[@mrk1075]

@4:53 cool, looks like an assembly line.

[@coswood3454]

Wow,this is Art,I like it🤗

There's a link to a jpg right under the sketchup file.

[@jabbarali2349]

How can I order

[@abhaythegreatesthackerlall4477]

Nice video

[@randallroose6715]

How do you get to ordering the plans?

[@krtwood]

The (very basic) plans are in the description above, either as a SketchUp file or a jpg.

[@john-l]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hulusikaratas1036]

Plan proje lazım

[@effeinc]

I'll bet you use the remote controlled one to clean the floor.

[@krtwood]

:) If only it were faster...

[@KSFWG]

krtwood But it would be more fun... lol Thanks for the video. Thumb's up for the donation. Very nice of you!

[@EastwoodTech]

Cute!

[@robertnelson2615]

too bad you didn't have any ca glue to assemble the bucket.

[@mikeerceg5888]

How can I obtain a copy of the plan thanks,Michael

[@krtwood]

+Mike Erceg You need Sketchup to work with it, sorry I don't have a simpler version www.krtwood.com/plans/frontendloader.skp
