Need idea help

Post by milo30 »

My Granddaughters 2nd birthday is coming in a couple of weeks and I want to make something for her. I thought about a rocking horse but haven't found one that I really like. I searched here and vectric but haven't come up with anything that a 2 year old will like. Anyone have some ideas? I'm running out of time fast.

What about a doll crib? I've seen all kinds of projects for those. I think there was even one or two on this forum.

How about a kids toy box. I built this one for my grand daughter.

I like the toy box but don't think that I have time. The crib is a good idea and would go together and finish a little quicker. If I don't think of something else by tomorrow then I think I will do the crib. Maybe the toybox for Christmas.

Thanks

Mind showing a picture of the rocking horse? I don't mind doing it off the cnc. I looked at a couple but wasn't crazy about the design.

Easy to build, and kids like them.

Thanks for the help guys. I think the cradle won for the birthday but pretty much all the other suggestions will be done for the other grandkids for Christmas.

That rocking horse was hard to see on my phone but it appears to be what I envisioned one looking like. I would appreciate a picture of it after your vacation

I build a lot of these and sell them for $150.00 it is a store bought pattern got it about 22years ago to build one for my oldest daughter. I am wanting to get it put on computer so I can do the cutting on the shark. Couldnt do the rockers on mine but they are the easiest part. I rout the legs out with a MDF pattern after I ruff cut on band saw
