Project Inspiration

This backhoe uses a series of springs to give an impressively realistic hydraulic system effect.

This pumper truck is impressive in either of Sam Martin’s favorite woods—oak or cherry

A hallmark of Sam’s toys is that every individual piece is made from wood, even down to the Mack emblem made of wooden veneer.

Measuring over 3 feet long, this rig of truck tractor, flatbed trailer, and track backhoe is an impressive sight on the mantle. Using a unique rawhide system, the tracks actually work.

The boom and bucket move and pivot, the cab rotates, and the tracks function.

This cattle truck features a tambour roll-up door just like its real counterpart.
