   bill,

   I would venture a guess that whoever built it prolly scaled an existing plan.  There's a 3 page article starting in #117 about making a really Fine one by Randall O'Donnell Building a Highboy.

   There's also several plans available via the WEB; sounds like a great project.  This isn't on topic but I visited a friend of mine over the weekend; he makes scaled replicas of heavy equipment & trucks.  You'd be amazed at what few tools he uses to make them.

   A Woodworkers mind should be the sharpest tool in the shop!

   Thanks Bob,

   I think I will just pick a height of 18 - 24 inches and start scaling from there. I can model it in CAD software to work out the details before I start cutting.

   Thanks for the picture, looks like a fun toy.
