Homemade tiny Maytag

[jasonlittle]

Hey everyone. I don't post too often on here. Mostly just a lurker but I am a huge Maytag collector. Been working on making a tiny Maytag washer out of wood and just finished it this morning. Thought I would share a few pics with everyone. Only thing left is I've got to figure out how to make an agitator for it .

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Looks like a percolator basket for the tub...A+ for ingenuity and cleverness. Barbie's gonna want one for her fine washables.  </span>

Ken will want one for his Gym Gear.

Very Cute and Clever.

Yep that's right. I had an old percolator coffee pot.

Looks good ,Jason! And those 806's look vaguely familiar........

It's Beautiful!

Can you make a Frigidaire model to sell?

Cute!

A small water pump impeller may work for an agitator, or one of those inline water heater igniter impellers.

that is just brilliant.....

you should expect many orders for them...

FANTASTIC!

I love the little MT. Great work. With the large lid and SS looking interior it also looks a bit Speed Queen-ish. I want one.

Very impressive!

You know, now everyone is going to want one of these mini Maytags.

Are working on any other models too?

Mini Maytags

Let Mattel patent the design as a toy

Love it!

It looks sooooooo much like the real thing.

Amazing job and love the percolator basket as the tub!

 

[jasonlittle]

Thank you goat farmer. Yeah those yellow Maytag's and the pink ones in the background should look very familiar to you. I have added them to my show room and they have a good forever home now.

I have never tried to make anything else. But I'm sure I could make pretty much any washer if I sat down and spent enough time on it. I am just mostly a Maytag man so that was my first project .

COOL!!!!!Like this-very clever and what talent required to build this model.Any plans for a functional miniature one?Like the coffee machine basket-it even has the shaft for an agitator!

 

[jasonlittle]

Thank you. Never had any plans to make one that actually function. But I am planning to make a matching dryer for it soon. I've always wanted a model of one of those older Maytag's but they don't make them at least I've never been able to find one. So I just decided I would have to make one myself .
