“Plans for the Rocking Horse are now officially available. Download Here! The plan comes with a scale template but you might consider downloading thefull-size version here, and taking it to your local print center (this is what I’m doing).
For the sake of simplicity, the plan calls for a single pre-laminated pine board approximately 3/4?T x 20?W x 72?L. My local Lowes had exactly what I needed. My local Home Depot had pre-laminated boards, but they were a little too thin for my taste. Also keep in mind that if you do not want to go the pre-laminated route, you can also buy a kit from Bell Forest Products.”
If you decide to give this a try swing by Marc site and all the instruction would be available. He has 2 detailed video on haw to do this project. I decided to do the tape up method on the papers but it is truly a pain, nextime I will defiantly print out the full diagram.
The kids are having tons of fun on this and i pretty chuffed that it turn out so good.
