Bicycle Man

[dansnow]

I found the plans for this little guy online a while back. This is our second one (my son did most of the cutting. I did a couple parts, the finishing and final assembly). He's about 9" tall, made from 1/4" red oak and 1/4" and 3/4" oak dowel. The front fork is from a 1" thick piece of red oak. All axel and leg joints are held in place with 1/8" diameter pins.

 

Thanks for looking.

Very nicely done Dan and Son.  I love when projects become a family affair.  You both did a great job on this.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

That's a good job especially getting those dowel pins in without splitting the wood some great joints there.

Just to let you guys know, my son turns 41 this year!   Together we are Snows Wooden Toys & Gifts

 

Phantom, I found the trick that works for me on drilling the holes in the dowels is to make them extra long so I have at least 1/2" between the hole and the end, then trim after drilling.

Very unique, you did a fantastic job on it like others have said.......Dan

Cute, I would have to make more than one of them if I decide to make any, we would have to have the extra ones to race against each other. I can just see it now, a thin board on his desk elevated on one end, to give us a track. We are heavily into racing, and anything with wheels gets a try.
