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.

Congratulations, Good Looking Machines!

Are you planning to make any others in the set?

Excellent modifications, Gary! The boys will be very happy with these. I had reviewed the plans and wondered about longevity of the control rods as planned.
