Daughter's Christmas/Birthday Gift

I wanted to make a rocking horse for my daughter's first Christmas and Birthday. I used pocket screws for assembly because the washer drew the parts tight together and they are self-tapping. I enjoyed this one. I used no. 2 pine floor joists and some 5/4 board I had lying around. Finally, I laminated plywood to the rockers for more strength because of the cross-grain nature of the plywood. Still thinking of what finish to use.

The plans are full-sized and traceable. I usually traced the pieces on poster board using graphite paper and then cut them out. It helps in selecting boards and making copies if need be. I would be happy to help you with any aspects of the construction process.

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing. How effective is it? It's adaptable to any router table. Continue
