- I've never been so excited to give a gift before. My little niece and nephew are going to be so pumped to get these Dino Rockers.
This looks like an intimidating build, but it really isn't. It basically only takes a 8ft 2x12 board and a jig saw produce!
You truly worked your head off on this project
Ha! I sure did. Happy to report the fix is still holding strong 💪
This was great...you pushed through the broken head like a champ!
Thanks! Though I edited out all the hitting/kicking stuff and the long walk I took before returning to the project...
Pretty cool..Sure does make you an Uncle of the year
Thank you!
These are a lovely gift idea, well made mate and good recovery I felt your pain.
They’re still a big hit even a few years later!
@FirthFabrications I'm making something similar next week so trolling round looking for ideas so thanks for sharing your work mate.
@karlpopewoodcraft awesome! I’d love to see it when you finish
Jist glue it back on and add some long screws to make it safe
That’s about what I did! Good thinking 👍
Beautiful friend
Thank you!
Nice Work, they would make awesome Xmas presents, I want to ride on one lol Cheers from Australia (and Reddit ) :)
I really hope the niece and nephew like them! And thanks for watching!
Love the build, what timber did you use?
These were made completely out of an 8ft 2x12 board
Amazing! Do you have the building plans for this??
Unfortunately I don’t have any plans for these..this was all hand drawn by my wife and I just cut everything out.
@@FirthFabrications send us the drawings, then! Dino is too handsome
I wish I could. By hand drawn I mean she literally drew the shape of the dinosaurs on the wood and I just cut it out. It was definitely an oversite not to document the design...
How did you work out the rockers so they where stable
The rockers were just sketched by hand onto a 2x6 and cut out with a jig saw. I made sure the rockers went with the grain to get the most support. Then I just sanded them until they were symmetrical
Hi from reddit, do you still know the measures or have any plans from this proyect i would like to make one for my son very cool project btw
Hi. I'm sorry, but I don't. I wish I would have written them down as quite a few people have asked. All the shapes were just hand drawn directly on the wood and I didn't create any designs beforehand.
