I had a special request to try to build a carousel type rocking horse. I have made 65+ kid sized rocking toys, plus a bunch of mini-sized stress reliever ones. SO I said, why not try. Here is the result. It is 37+1/2 inches tall 35 inches long and 14 inches wide. All construction is screwed and glued with the visible screw holes filled or plugged. I use a jig that I had made years ago for the rocker assembling. The wood is pine and a bit of unknowns for the top-cap and the handle. They were turned from firewood pile. The customer wanted to do the paint/trim etc. as that is one of my weaknesses anyway that is more than fine! The design is fro the rjR/ T & E design studio. All cross braces are also reinforced underneath. It passed the ride test by me with flying(ROCKING) colors too. When I get so I cannot test ride them; I am going to quit making them and give my rocker assembly jig and templates away. I did make posterboard templates for this one. If I make another, it will also have thin plywood templates made at the cutting time.
