Scrappile Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Okay, going to post this in a second forum, I posted it in "Other wood working" got little attention, and I thing it deserves more, This is cool, and would, I think, be a challenge to make. I have his carousel plans. Good service, good plans. Fact I think I will add him to the pattern shop in resources. This must have taken some thought and trial and error. Check it out you toy builders especially. I will probably give it a try when I finish some other projects. It is a short video. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/927249010757861976/ JackJones, OCtoolguy, crupiea and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thanks Paul. That's the sort of thing that winds my crank. I might have to try that transformer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 I just downloaded the plans. This will be a project with my 7 year old grandson. He is always drawing robots for me to cut and we build. This project is going to be really exciting for him. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 That is really cool! The brain that makes these designs like this is way smarter than my pea sized one for sure, LOL OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb.j.enders Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Very cool. I think I will pass on that however, unless the grandson starts showing interest in something like that. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Looking over the plans, the measurements are in metric. Calls for 20mm and 40 mm wood. American 3/4 is 19mm. I have 4/4 poplar that I plan to use. Will plane to 20mm and will glue up the wood for the 40mm parts. I did not study the plans close enough to see if 3/4 and 1 1/2 would work. Probably would. There are dowel rods that are non-standard when converted from metric. I plan to use the next closest size that we can easily obtain and modify the plans to drill the correct corresponding holes. The plans are detailed, 34 pages long. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt B Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Since this is a scroll saw forum, I attached one of the pages from the instructions that shows some of the parts. You would use a scroll saw to cut out the wheel hubcaps. Some of the other parts would be cut out on a scroll saw too. The designer is from Turkey, he used what looked like a hand coping saw for some of his cuts. Matt OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
