The Heirloom Rocking Horse

Compliments of Shopsmith

A Classic Design That Will Bring A Big Smile To The Face of A Special Child. With just a few pieces of inexpensive, readily-available stock and only about 12 hours of your time, you can build this heirloom quality horse that'll serve generations of young riders. Making a child's toy can be a lot of fun. The hours spent cutting, sanding, assembling and finishing a toy are richly rewarded by the happiness shown on a child's face when he or she receives that toy. There's little else to compare with it. For generations, one of the most popular of all children's toys has been the rocking horse. Little buckaroos and buckarettes love to climb in the saddle and ride the living room range, looking for strays and chasing the bad guys. The easy-to-follow plans presented here will help you create this family heirloom in about 12 hours and have it ready to occupy its treasured space under your family tree this Holiday season.
