subject: Do You Have Any Plans For A Rocking Horse As Presents For Your Youngsers Or Grandchildren [print this page] Do you have any plans for a rocking horse as gifts? For those who do, you have got two choices:-
* locate a retailer that sells them and buy one
* buy wood working plans and make however many you want to.
Buying a rocking horse is easy enough, you may even do it online and not have to leave your home. But, making one from rocking horse plans is so much more satisfying.
Even when you have never done any wood working previously, with just a few basic wood working tools, some timber, woodworking glue and screws, you can easily and quickly make your rocking horse.
When it is finished you can choose to polish or paint it to make your own rocking horse masterpiece.
Not only is building a rocking horse from woodworking plans a lot more satisfying than shopping for one from a retailer, but wait till you see the enjoyment on the face of the young child who receives it as a present.
Whenever you make something with love, it adds a touch of magic and makes it so much more special to the young child who you give it to.
When you've got some spare time on your hands you should buy some thin custom wood (MDF) 1/8inch (3mm) thick and then using the rocking horse plans you'll be able to cut out a pattern for every one of the parts. Then you can make as many as you want to.
In reality it may be a very good little business especially if you're retired as you can sell the rocking horses to folks with youngsters or grandchildren. Hand made rocking horses are highly sought after all year round, however particularly at Christmas time.
If you are going to make rocking horses as a small business you may want to invest in a sliding mitre cut-off saw and a scroll saw, (do not forget the ear protectors and goggles) it makes life slightly simpler and these days they are in-expensive.
However I must emphasise if you're only making one or maybe 2 rocking horses from wood working plans you do not have to have power tools, basic hand tools will work just as well.
Even when you don't wish to buiild rocking horses as a business, consider building 2 anyway and give one to a children's home, a children's hospital or charity.
For those who belong to a club, you can raffle one and give the proceeds to the club or to a children's charity.
Building 2 rocking horses actually doesn't take very much more time than making one, however it will more than double your own satisfaction.
Rocking Horses are great presents for any child, you can make them individual by finishing them differently. If your artistic abilities aren't quite as you need you can purchase stick on eyes from a craft store.
I mean the sticker type not those used for dolls, we don't want your kids pulling them off and choking on them.
You can use wool for a tail and the mane if you wished to. You optionally can pad the seat or leave it as it is, you have many options.
One thing is certain you'll get as much pleasure out of making it as you will giving it.
Isn't it the time to put in place your plans for rocking horse presents?
