I had to make another dog...

[Bill Huber]

It's a good thing I don't have 10 grand kids or I would never have any time to build anything but dogs.

So here is number two, poplar for the main body and legs. I bought the wheels and put a walnut plug in them to install a small axle.

I had a friend paint this one just like the other one, she did a really great job on both.

Dog number one.

I love this! I wish more toys were built like the old ones - kids love them and they are so solid. Great job recreating an old classic!

cheers, dee

When I made the first one I made the templates off of mine that I found in my Dad's attic. It is 60 years old and has a lot of battle scars but it's still going.

The grand daughter has really like the first one I made, she has it with her all the time, not that does make grandpa feel good.

Dave, I have templates for it all, body and legs. If you would like them I could send them to you, I would want them back at some point.

[John Shuk]

That is just a great toy!

Good job on the woodworking and being a grandpa Bill.

Bill,

I have to ask. Are you willing to share your patterns with us?

:)

Sure, I have the templates for the legs and body I could send them or I have a picture of them all with dimensions on them I could email to you.
