Rocking Horse Plans Build This Heirloom Rocking Horse For Your Child or Grandchild Do you want to build your own wooden rocking horse? Building a children's rocking horse is a rewarding project in many ways, but making this horse is not a project for a beginning woodworker. While I include dozens of pictures and step by step instructions in my free online book it is not a basic woodworking “How–To”. I do not discuss the difference between a band saw and a table saw, a try square and a carpenter’s square, or a belt sander and orbital sander. I do discuss many techniques I have discovered and developed in my lifelong love of woodworking. Most of the ideas in my book I use daily in my work as a professional toymaker. The techniques described are designed to achieve quality work with minimum effort. If you are new to woodworking look for a more basic book about tools and their use. When you have a foundation of knowledge and experience read my online book and build yourself a fine heirloom. When your Rocking Horse is complete please give instructions to your young buckaroos. The 10 month old rider needs help in staying on and the older rider needs cautioned to avoid being bucked off. As with any ride-on toy a child can fall off or ride so energetically that the toy can overturn. Use caution and vigilance. Happy Trails to you . . . When your steed is complete I would love to see a picture of your work or even better a picture of your horse and rider. Plans You can use the techniques in my book to build any wooden rocking horse. If you would like to make this rocking horse for your loved one I offer full size plans for $12.00 in the U.S. or $13.00 international both postpaid. This payment gives you license to make this horse for your family or friends. Making my horse for sale is expressly prohibited, both by copyright and design patent. I earn a of living of sorts by my woodworking which includes making these horses and dozens of competitors would make life difficult. These full size plans are just that "plans only".

Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
