I watched this video 5 or 10 years ago I forgot, but I have made hundreds of these and give them away, nice to see people still enjoying this video in 2024
Thanks so much for sharing your build! I just finished building this for my niece for Christmas and it turned out wonderful thanks to your detailed video. I made one horse out of maple and the other from walnut and the wheels from cherry.
Muchas gracias por compartir esta idea, me ha gustado mucho el video y voy a tratar de hacer un caballito como ese en los próximos días. Me gusta hacer juguetes para regalar a niños pobres en navidad. Muchísimas gracias
Thank you very much for taking the time making this video. I saw this toy on Pinterest and wanted to make it for my granddaughter's 4th birthday but I was having a hard time grasping the wheel set up. Your video was the only example I could find and it shows how to, very clearly. I can't decide if I will paint them or use 2 different colors of natural wood yet. All the others show both horses the same color. Thanks to your project it put the thought into my head that 2 different colors is an excellent idea! Update: I completed my horse toy and would love to show a photo but I don't know if I can do that here. Thanks again for the video
@@barryp4700 sorry, just now seeing this question. I did mine 180° also. Mine jammed up a little bit but I thought it was the tail getting stuck in the wheels. I'm not sure if there is a secret about that. 180° seems to make sense to me though.
Thanks Rick....I seen your video and was inspired to make one for my Grandson..... a little tricky with lining up the wheels to prevent sticking but I managed to get it working.....
great toy could you supply plans ? I have made this toy but cant get the wheel positions correct therefor the horses wont move correctly can you please help. kind regards.
Make sure that your not drilling into a void. Use a backer board and make sure that your not drilling into a hole from a previous drill. Hope this helps.
Lovely! I'm sure you enjoyed making this and your grandson enjoys playing with it. What a fun grandpa he has. BTW, what thickness are the horses' bodies and the wheels? 18mm? 21 mm? Thanks
I made these little horses. They were fun and I also tried a set of tractors as well. I have a problem with both and I can’t quite figure it out. The tires will run most of the time but sometimes they start going sideways and bind up. I’ve really tried to keep things straight. Any ideas?
I had the same issue - wheels eventually bind up because they start going sideways. did you find a solution? In the video, he seems to simply straighten each pair of wheels by eye, to each other. I have been unsuccessful at doing that.
@@darlenebowen1624 I had an idea that the the hole In the horse's leg might be too big for the axle (too much wiggle-room).. I'm going to try to use a slightly larger dowel and see if it holds things straighter. I'll keep you posted! But I really appreciate your quick reply. All the best for the New Year.
From one Grandpa to another excellent job and what a terrific gift ! Subscribed from NSW Australia Jim do you have any tutorials showing how to make repeated small pieces ? I am having trouble making the legs of a small pull along grasshopper ( making one set is ok but I want to make repeated sets)
Thanks for your comment! As for making repeated small pieces, there is almost always a way to make a jig to make the job easier but not knowing exactly what you have in mind or the tools you have access to makes it hard to comment on anything specific.
I watched your video clip and made it following it, but I made the same trial and error of drilling a hole in the wheel. Because I didn't understand re-positioning the hole in the video...ha ha ha!
Nice toy! A question, when you did the wheels in the drill press, how did you get them without the center hole? I said because the arbor of the bit. Thanks.

I am making one, what is the hole placement? I made mine 180 degrees apart, 12 o’clock and 6, but it seems to jam up and not roll along.

WOW! Thank you for sharing this! My son just had twin little girls this past December and I've wanted to make something for them...
Thanks Rick....I seen your video and was inspired to make one for my Grandson..... a little tricky with lining up the wheels to prevent sticking but I managed to get it working.....
This is by far the cutest wooden horses I’ve seen. Definitely making these. Hope it’s ok. Thank you very much for sharing!
Love it. If you son saw real horses, it would have lovely to emulate real colours. The manes and tails are epic. Thank you for sharing.
This is so great! Making a set for Christmas. Thx!’
Que incrível! Gratidão 😄🌷.

BEULTIFUL MEN 🤭 BEULTIFUL TOY 🇧🇷😍❤️😘
Lovely toy. Have one partially complete but not sure where to drill the holes in the wheels, help please.
very cute toy. are plans available?
Parabéns muito bonito seu trabalho
great toy could you supply plans ? I have made this toy but cant get the wheel positions correct therefor the horses wont move correctly can you please help. kind regards.
Great action on the horses!
That looks so fun!
parabéns gostei muito amigo ficou top
That is so cool thank you
Lovely work, i like it, in your new subscriber
I can't seen to get the wheels/axles straight enough. They always seem to eventually go sideways, and bind up. Any hints for getting this right?
Excellent video. Question: How do you keep the exit hole from fraying when you drill? Mine seems to ‘burst out’ with splinters.
Make sure that your not drilling into a void. Use a backer board and make sure that your not drilling into a hole from a previous drill. Hope this helps.
Boa tarde, que trabalho bonito, parabéns, sou hobista, gosto de mexer com madeira, aprendendo ainda, vc disponibiliza o PDF, Curitiba/Pr/Brasil.

Wonderful idea. Would it be possible to get the plans for this so I can make for my son?Thank you very much.

@@stevencahn1530 I gave up. I don’t make that little toy anymore cause they just are frustrating to keep going straight.

very good
👏👏👏👏
Anyone know if this plan is available, is it from a website or a book? TY
Скажите пожалуйста где можно скачать чертеж. Спасибо
E o molde?
Are the wheels the same amount off center?
