Rocky

I enjoyed your craftsmanship and video! I've made more than 30 of these projects for family, to contribute to not-for-profit organizations to be used as a fundraising tool, and even to sell. I purchased the full kit and transferred the shapes onto 3/4" oak veneer ply. The oak veneer has obvious imperfections/gaps in side which are frustrating, but after filling these imperfections I found that the imperfections themselves add to the beauty. The oak veneer plywood grain is much more diverse than the 7 ply high quality wood found in the incredible kit. Most folks wanted actual rockers so I was able to create a bowed rockers from two laminated 3/4" ply, then fitting them to new cuts on the hooves. This required spreader bars on the rockers after they were attached to give the rockers stability. This was a great video and beautiful work!

Beautiful! A pleasure to watch and listen to. This is a family heirloom. Every child needs a rocking horse and this one is a beauty!

Good for you Grandad, even though I have made a couple of Rocking horses myself it was fascinating to watch your entire process. I am sure that Archie will get so much pleasure from his wonderful friend and what a fantastic piece for him to keep for his own Son. I hope that your neighbors enjoyed watching the process too......Ron Cumpsty

I just made one. Printed the templates on 8.5x11 paper and spray adhesived them to the panels I made. OMG!!! Cutting all those curves with a jigsaw was ridiculous! But it is complete, needing only staining. A fun challenge. I might need to try carving one next time; yours is a lot more lifelike than mine! Thanks!

The love and paitence is wonderful. I want to make one, but I'm almost too afraid to try. I'm no earthly good at carving anything and I'm far too critical on the details.

[@natanaelbrum6439]
