Operational Ferris Wheel
« on: July 31, 2012, 02:20:01 pm »
This is a little something I have been working on. It is approx 10" H X 10" W and painted the traditional Florida Gators Football Colors. I am thinking about adding a motor and putting letters in the cars spelling "GO GATORS".  8)

That's cool!  I love the "Go Gators" idea!  Was this your own design Russ?

Yes Glen, this is my own design. The cars are compound cuts out of solid pine, wooden dowels for axles,  wheels and stands are Baltic Birch plywood. Thanks everyone for your kind remarks.  :)
