    Child's Puzzle Rocker

    This Is for my Grandson Nolen.

    I found some plans listed by; Skip Weiser on this site for a child's puzzle rocker and used them.

    Materials 3/4 Baltic birch plywood, 3 cans of Rustoleum Acrylic, which I hated using , it took forever to get an even coat. Then printed out some decals.

    My daughter & son-in-law live here in Arkansas but are Florida state fans

    Floyd, I love it! How detailed are the plans? Could they be converted to digital?

    Here is the plans I came up with for 3/4 material, if you would like the full size drawing, send me a message with email and I will forward it to you in a zip file.

    I had it printed at Staples came out great just be sure to let them know the finished print size is to be 24x48 and take a measurement on one of the dimensions before you leave.

    enjoy

  8. Floyd Cox I just saw your post about the puzzle rocking chair and if it is still available I would like a copy of the plans or anyone else that has plans that would send them I would greatly appreciate it. I have been seeing the plans but most of them are for smaller kids and have been trying to figure out how to increase the size for kids a few years older to have a choice of chairs.
    Thank You

    Mike,
    I am interested in your puzzle chair and a template for it. This might be a good project for my first great-granddaughter. I built chairs once before, but without any plans. When I do that I usually overcompensate and overbuild things that would survive an atomic attack. Yours looks much simpler and sleeker.

    I live in the Tri-County area. What part of Cincinnati do you live in? I could save you postage on the template and maybe get a chance to look at the real thing, too, if I could stop by and see you. Let me know the possibilities.

    I tried to send you a pm but it was rejected, saying you could not receive pms. Let me know if you have an email address and I will share mine with you. In the mean time I don't want to post mine for all the world to see.

    Thanks,
    Al Heitz
