Nascar & Merry Go Rounds.... :+}
« on: August 02, 2011, 06:20:45 pm »
Have a line up of Nascar cars going, but wanted to show my TWO FAVORITES.
     One of um will win all the beans this year.  Hope its Jeff.... 

Cut this wat I call a merry go round.  I made the normal animals according to the plans, but modified the other with the dinosoars.  Gonna make some for Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc. 

The Cars designer is our very own Steve Good.  The other I can't remember where I got the pattern.  Some mag. I think.  Anyway  Later....  Danny  :+}

Excellent work Danny.  I really like your wood choice for the cars.  Like Chachi I too am interested in the Merry Go Round pattern.  Thanks for showing us your talent.

I have seen that pattern somewhere, but cant remember where.

But I did find this one using a swan .. but I guess this could be used with any animal silhouette or even a train...

Yepper Torsten They Spin....  Give um a flick and these will spin back n forth for 3 full minutes plus.  Cool....

And the wood used on the cars is 1/2" plain ole Birch Ply.  I even set up a
10 foot slight downhill track thing and Yea! Jeff won every time.  Yea!
                         
Oh yea I was told of the me a new way to finish a project and
IT DOES WORK GOOD....  A couple sprays of Laquere light sanding in
between and ONE final coat of Poly.  Comes out BEAUTIFUL....  Danny  :+}

Don't shrink them too small and make the carousel bigger so you can put the whole starting line up, at least the first 3 or 4 rows. Now that would be cool!
