Grandson was coming for a visit so I figured I'd better make him something to keep his mind occupied at least for a little while.

I had these plans for a while. They said the parts were all traceable. Riiight. They were, but the lines all crisscrossed each other on both sides of the roadmap.

So off they went to MEBCWD. He turned them into a file for my CNC machine.

Started cutting parts

Hope they all fit

Rockers were exactly the same size

It's going together with very few problems so far - Rounded the corners off with a round over bit

A couple of adjustments and it's on the rocker platform

Now we add a little paint - mixed Hunter Green and Gloss White. Added some plastic eyes and painted the mouth.

Good Nuff!!!!

I'm probably too big, otherwise I'd give it a try! Nice toy, John.

Nice. What is MEBCWD? Inquiring minds want to know.

Judging from his name, he must be Polish or Hungarian.

I found a small one and wanted to keep it for a pet --- Mom wouldn't let me. Said the cave was too small!
