1st Xmas present

[Dalboy]

Well I have started on making Christmas presents this is the 1st one to be done for one of the children. Taken a 6 days from rough stock to completion and it measures 13" long by 5" across and stands 6 3/4" tall this was from a free set of plans I found but I have changed and added bits to it.

All of the wood came from what I had laying around. So onto the next present soon

[Dalboy]

Thank you all. This was great fun making and now it is stored out of the way ready to wrap. I have just spent the evening doing a write up for a woodworking magazine, I have already sent off one on the rocking motor bike that I made. Just have to wait to see if they are good enough to publish they did for the Ford car I made
