blackwood cart for the boy
Hi peoples,
just wanted to share one of my latest projects, I realised that I had been concentrating more on milling timber than doing anything with it, and also I really hadn't built any toys for the kids so her's some blackwood scraps I machined up (except the handle and axles, don't know why I didn't use blackwood also) and made the boy a little cart as he's learning to walk. With the time it took to finish I thought he might have had his drivers license first, anyhow I got done and had my first play with shellac.
the greatest joy was seeing his smile, it gave him the confidence to do laps up and down the living room, he uses it daily usually sitting in it whilst his sisters push him around.

G'Day Joel,
What a beauty.... Good size, strong and durable; just watch out for the walls & corners...lol.
I must admit to smiling as I read you thread as my girls gave each other rides as do my grandsons just like what you've mentioned.
Well done on a top toy just built for hours of fun.
Cheers, crowie

hi Hermit & Crowie thanks for the compliments, the screws look a bit rough, but patience was wearing thin at the time it was originally only going to be 2x1 pine quickly screwed up, but pine I would have to buy

Thanks Peter, it makes me want to make more toys for the kids, all I have done most of my working life is build things for other people
