Hi Chrrris, glad I found this post again.

I have made a Sketchup model of the car. Also mentioned it in another post. Apologies if I am repeating myself.

Here is the link to the Sketchup model...

I made this model from a scan posted by one of the members of this forum. I think his/her name is Chriss, but I can't find the post to say thanks.

Anyway, I...

Help! I am looking for plans to build the F4U Corsair pedal airplane. I have seen photo of them, but the plans are hard to find.

There are plenty of examples of almost every other pedal airplane,...

Greetings,

Looking for some help in locating a plan for a pull along toy bumble bee as shown in the image attached:

Have seen one years ago at a woodworking show.

Thanks for you help.

Thanks for the headsup Crowie, that was a brilliant mistake, looks really cool. Must admit I looked at one of the photos first, and thought it was one of your really good design modifications.

Hi Crowie, thanks for the heads-up.

Looking good as always.

Here is a link to the original toy motorcycle plans if anyone else is interested.

The plans are free to download, all you need...

Thanks for sharing. Would be interesting to see the jigs.

Free at last - now you can download the scroll saw pattern and make one or a few yourself.

Here is the link: motorcycle scroll saw patterns fun easy to make project

Also made a plywood version....

New coat of paint from the world's worst painter. Manage to get more paint on myself. Two shades of grey. Think is works a little better. At least it's not as difficult to photograph.

Back from the painting shop. Not sure if the black paint works that well, so I am going to try a single shade of grey.

So good so far. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Bit of a downer yesterday. this is what happened, you see. Rocking horse Scarlet and Taylor were inspired by a photo that I saw on the internet. At the time, having designed and made three different...

Great puzzle, well made. Thanks for sharing.

Beats modern plastic camera every time. Somthing to treasure.

Phase 2 - Changed the handlebars to bat wing shape.

Phase 3 - changed the shape slightly to suit the length of batman's legs.

Like the ratchet - very clever.

Phase 2 of the Scarlet Rocking horse build:

Think I should have clicked on *Reply to Thread* rather than post quick reply. Oh well...

All the parts cut out. Because the legs are splayed out,...

Thanks for the links, Peter. Jacsar (Aust) used to advertise in The Australian Woodworker magazine. I sent them an email, and apparently Bob Manuell has retired, and Ian Greenlaw has taken over his...

CAD programs work best when you need to share your plans - great tools for presentation and photo realistic rendering. However, when it comes to the design process, using pencil and paper is a lot...

Design in progress - a new motorbike for batman. Started out as a bicycle.

Found a scroll saw pattern, basically a collection of patterns, no instructions on how the parts fit together.

Yes indeed it does. Have a look at this one - it's actually a custom made golf cart :)

That is amazing - superlatives escape me. Very well done, beautiful job.

Work in progress for Scarlet, the rocking horse, also the younger sister of Taylor.

She is being made from recycled maple (used to be a bed.)

My preferred method of construction is to use...

Bluddy fantastic is what they are!

Thanks for sharing. Would like to give it a go. The bead is a nice touch.

If I don't have a table saw, I suppose I could set up a jig to use a scroll saw. The treads would be much finer, though.

Congratulations to Crowie on his Christmas toy pallet challenge, and to all the people involved in organizing it.

It was a design that I had been thinking about for a long time, and when the...

Thanks for the link, I am an AutoCAD user from a long time ago. Almost missed the link to the hobbyist download; it's on the right hand side as you go down the page.

Tried Sketchup the free...

I'm in.

Now to find a pallet.

A simple, sturdy easy to make toy car with a difference - a batmobile.

Long time coming - made one of these a long time ago, time to make another one.

The first image is from way back. The rest...

How to make the winch to raise and lower the toy car lift. Sounds simple enough, simply stick a crank on the end of a dowel stick and wind a piece of cord around it.But it becomes apparent that will...

Sounds great Treecycle, look forward to seeing the results, of all the toys, that is, even if you don't get to make the garage.

Progress in the 3 story toy car garage design.

Great design, thanks for sharing.

Looks great - like the idea for the lift winding mechanism, allow the lift to be wound up as well as down, instead of being allowed down under its own wheight.

Also reminds me of the old fashioned...

This is the start of a “design in progress,” hopefully one dayit will become an actual “work in progress,” as time and fundsallow. SWMBO has allocated funds to things like buying food and...

Quite a collection you have there. Quite like the floatplane and the monster truck designs.

Thanks Treecyce. Great to see the plans being put to good use.
I would like to include the photo in the woodworking projects gallery page.
It would make a great addition to the slideshow.
There is...

For anyone who may be interested, here are three dump truck plans.

Dare I say they are free, gratis and for nothing, all compliments of woodworkingdownunder.com

Oh, and there is number four,...

Thanks for posting the free plans - now on my to-do list.:)

Thanks for sharing. Think the truck with all the furniture in the back is a really good idea.:2tsup:

Have said this before, for anyone who may be interested, here is a link to pedal airplane plans very similar to those shown in the photo from Mc.

That's not a toy, THIS is a toy. Great work.

That's a great idea! Found this page with exactly that - pedal airplane plans

Thanks Crowie - actually made two for a lady and her friend, for there daughters. :)

Photo of a rocking horse that I built using these free plans

Well done Cal, some people have all the luck:2tsup: thanks for sharing and welcome to the forum.

That is an interesting way of making a rocking horse. Seen one by Anthony Dew, once it has been painted, one would never know it was made from plywood.

Can't help thinking there must be a lot of...

Top job, OktiraLad. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Colbram that would be great. Always willing to hear interesting childhood stories.
