Pink and Rocks
Well here we go again. I know I can hear you all saying "Not another W.I.P." well you keep asking for them.
I will start the W.I.P. with some XXX rated pictures of naked wood. So don't get excited
DSCF2141.jpgDSCF2140.jpg
The large sheets are 8' X 4' ply in 3/4", 1/2" and 1/4" thickness not all of it will be used in this project The dowel rods are 8' long 1 is 1" dia and the other 2 are 1/4" dia.
This is being built from an idea in my head so you will have to bear with me.
OH yes I have not told you what it is have I, Well watch and you will see

Is it a case of naughty thought in your head??
G'Day Dalboy [aka Derek],
This isn't "xxx rated"; the timber has been dressed...... are you leading us up some sort of garden path??
Cheers, crowie

My first post in this W.I.P. was about 15mins after delivery of the wood. And since then I have managed to cut and shape some pieces for this project. Should I tell you all what it is or see how long it takes to become obvious what it is.
Anyway todays progress

Man I have no idea. Was thinking about how the dowel rod would tie in. Obviously it's a toy or you wouldn't be posting in here.

Just to give an Idea the parts I have cut Are about 36" (about 1 metre)long and 9" (230mm) tall width is about 9" (230mm)
I would need a very big lathe Bret
Peter it will be coloured Pink and it certainly rocks. Pink as it is for a girl.
[QUOTE=artme;1691264]Sorry I was brought up on Imperial and forget that some people use metric. I had to look up the conversion

Thought I would have a lazy day today. But decided to go out and have a tidy up in the shed it took all of 10minutes. Well all I had done was turn a small bowl.
Once the tidy up was complete I took the opportunity to make a couple of templates to speed up the making of some parts.
These are made from MDF as I had a little knocking about, I need to produce at least 12 of each shape so this will help the holes in each piece will help with alignment when it is assembled. I also put holes into the two large pieces. Dowelling rod will be put through these. Luckily I had some spare as the 2 pieces I had brought are for another part of the build

OK enough playing games. What I am building is another rocker in the shape of a car, and yes it is going to be Pink for a little girl.
Loosely based on a MG car below but not a exact copy

Anyway I managed to get my replacement sheet of ply and start to cut out the bonnet and boot shapes. At the moment they are rough cut and need to go onto the router table to finalize the shape to match the templates I made which are now smoothed out. The line up holes will also help to hold the template in place for when I rout them to there final shape

As a former owner operator of an MGB (God I miss that car), I Will be watching this one with interest.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
