Showing off my Rockin Harley
In my spare time last year, (I started it in March '23) I made my two year old grandson a Rocking Harley Davidson just in time for Christmas.
I bought a $20 set of plans online (Roarin' Rocker
Woodworking Project Plan / Winfield Collection) which I converted to digital
and cut most of the main parts on a CNC router table. This way I was able to
add a lot of additional details. I also used a Wood Lathe, Epilog Laser
engraver, and a whole lot of hand tools. It took me 200+ hours and about $700
worth of Walnut and Maple wood, which most of it turned into scrap. (A lot of
waste in the cut-out process).
I added the date and their last name on the license plate,
cut a diamond plate pattern into the floor boards and hidden wheels in the front so my daughter can wheel it into the next room.
