    Default Fighter Plane

    I'm working on a clock and I didn’t want to start cutting the clock wheels as my very first project on the scroll saw so I decided to use one of Steve Good’s toy patterns and make a fighter plane. Just as well because the scroll saw does take a little getting used to.

    I wasn’t too fussed about accuracy with this project. It was more of an experiment and I must admit it was a fun one. I would most definitely want to build some more toys in the future.

    1/ All the pieces have been cut, sanded and a couple of coats of stain has been applied.


    2/ Had to buy small brushes to get the stain inside the small cut outs.


    3/


    4/ All glued up and almost ready to fly…


    5/ The propeller spins for extra authenticity ;-)


    6/ Cleared for take off…

    Yes M.T you were correct.
    @ Matador - Steve Good emails a different pattern, or sometimes an article about a bit of machinery every night (late). Some are just basic easy to scroll patterns, while others need a bit of expertese.
    You can click on a sign that will enable the emails to be sent. You can opt out later if you wish.
    I have just finished the marble roller (automata), hand turned toy. A photo later if I can work out how to download.
    Just getting money here in Bordertown, SA at present to build a Men's Shed where, no doubt, lots of shavings will result.

    Thanks crowie, and all.

    I mainly built it to to test the scroll saw and start getting the hang of it so there was no one in mind but I'm sure it will find its way in a little kids' toy box very soon. Not long after that it will be broken and thrown out. But at least it would bring some happiness for a while.
