Dancing Ballerina Musical Clock
« on: September 25, 2010, 06:59:38 pm »
Put the final finish on these today. Made from Mahogany and Alder. A music box movement plays "Music Box Dancer" and makes the Ballerina turn slowly.
These are for our woodworkers club annual toy drive. They will be given to some deserving young girls for Christmas.
Pattern By Steve.

Dan, very nice music boxes, Your club is to be commended, I too make toys for my local hospital's pediatric ward and I have trouble finding good plans for girl toys. Would it be possible for you to tell me where you got the plan or maybe e-mail me a copy as I would really love to make some for my hospital. The girls would love them. Thanks.
