The plans were in this months Wood Magazine. I used only shop scraps to make a pair for the twins. I admit I have a whole box of wheels in the shop. They will be 3 in January. After cutting all the pieces I realized the 1/4 in thick control rods in the plan were really not child-resistant, thus a change in plans made the front wheels pivot and the blade pivot at a fixed height. But it is really sturdy. Lots of fun to make.
