Hoping for some help

#1

Post by honesttjohn »

Gotta make a wood train for my little guy. Nothing fancy, but decent size and sturdy. I had some plans many years ago but lost (misplaced - they're here some where) them. The cars were about a foot long (cut from 1 x 4's) with wheels and axles from dowels. Cars were connected with a hole in the back and a dowel sticking up in the front. Everything I've found so far is wimpish and on the small side. This kid wants to play and haul things. Any ideas??

The test results are in. Retirement is the best job I'm suited for.

Now I know why old guys wear suspenders.

Is this one he will sit on and peddle around the house?

Or something like this?
