Let's build a Allis Chalmers toy tractor

[@DudleyToolwright]

You just don;t see handmade gifts for kids any more. A lost art. Nice work, Tom.

[@DJako89]

Nice idea, Tom. There is no better present than one someone took the time and thought to make especially for them.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks Dave. Good to hear from you.

[@paulhewitt1488]

Good mates deserve the best and that tractor is a worthy present. Top job 👍👍

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thank you. 🙏

[@Rustinox]

Nice one. Making toys is fun to do.
And indeed, he was happy with it.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Yeah Brad loved it.

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

Thanks for the Christmas reminder 😨
That’s a really cool gift project 👍
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a full size riding tractor ….Lol

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Good one Tom , something different . I love the trick holding the round rod in the bandsaw . Cheers 👍

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks Max. Nothing worse than trying to cut round bar and it spins on you. So a small vise works great for preventing that.

[@eyuptony]

Nice one, Tom. A bit of stress relief having fun in your shop. Cheers Tony

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks Tony. It was.

[@bat116]

Very nice Tom! That's a great gift. And you are right about fun jobs in our shop. I wish I had time for a few of those jobs. Thank you for the video. Happy Thanksgiving

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks Steve. I appreciate it. Hopefully you don't have to work turkey day.

Very good job Friend TOM,,thanks for your time

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks for watching Michel.

[@nobbysworkshop]

That’s really cool Tom. Nice to see something different. A thoughtful gift for a good friend. I see Mr Khaos was trying to get Brad to play. Take care my friend. Cheers Nobby

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks Nobby. Yeah Khaos was trying to steal the show. 😂

[@jimpritz4169]

Pretty cool Tom. I hope Mr Khaos did not get jealous thinking you were making toys for him. Nothing beats a homemade gift. Thanks for the video.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Since the tractor didn't squeak Khaos wasn't jealous. 🤣

[@MyLilMule]

Nice build and a great gift!
