I love this project! Amazing work! I’ve been looking for a way to make a small rocking horse as a gift for a friend and I love this design and the way you made use of dowel joinery. I think I’ll be copying you. Beautiful. Great job!
Nice work Robin. Here in Tasmania Tas Oak is most commonly made from Mountain Ash, Eucalyptus regnans. World's tallest flowering plant. Just a bit of trivia for ya. Thanks for this video, gonna make one for the grandkids :-)
Great job. Such a beautiful and elegant rocking horse. I would like to build one for my little daughter but i don’t have any to copy the measurements. Any chance you coud leave a reaply with the measurements please?
Nice work! I am trying to restore an old children wooden horse, just has a lot of scratches so I was just going to sand and apply some orange oil. Do you have a brand you like to use?
I notice the dowels on the rocker aren't hidden, yet that was one of the briefs for the project? What happened there? Enjoyed watching you work, thanks.
Nice mate. I wondered where you had gone. I havnt seen anything from you In ages! What's happening with your shop stall podcast? I miss watching that. Just a thought for next time. If i am doing tricky duplicate curves I'll make a template out of 12mm ply or mdf as it's easier to shape and then just use a pattern bit on the router. Atleast then there's no risk of making a mistake on the finished product Just a thought anyway. The rocker came out great. Nice work👌
Thanks mate! I don't think the podcast is going to be coming back unfortunately, nothings lined up at least. Good call on the pattern bit! I've seen other channels do it, it definitely makes sense!
I'm wondering if you have a blueprint of this project available. I'm learning carpentry and wanting to make a rocking horse as one of my 5 projects. This one is absolutely gorgeous. If not blueprints then what are the boards you use. I can't tell if its 2x4 or bigger from the video.
Hi Robin, Very nice build! I saw you marking the rocker curves, but what radius did you use? I am building a baby chair/table set and it needs rockers on it. GK from Eastern Cape
Hey Gary! Good to talk to a fellow saffa! I can't remember what it was unfortuantely (and it went off to the client shortly after the video) but I do remember being surprised by how little curve you need. I was copying off another horse, so that could be a good place to start
@@RobinLewisMakes Hi Robin I did some research, and I settled on a radius of 38 inches, and it gave me the correct curve. I mounted the router and clamped the two rockers together, and cut them at the same time. Worked out perfectly!
I agree, very complex project . . . also great video and very nice work; however, for all that time and detail, I think you should have made 5 . . . as they say, it would have taken about the same time. Cheers.
@@RobinLewisMakes this is difficult, but I always wanted to make one myself and this might actually help me accomplish what I am planning. I have a godchild now and I would love to make this for him.
@@RobinLewisMakes the sharp end should always pointed away from body , saying that emptied the first aid box in my first week and got roasted ever time
Gotta be one of the best rocking horses I’ve seen! 👍. For sure family heirloom that will be passed down for generations! Great job as always!
Joe
Thanks Joe!
Ooooooo
thanks for sharing this video and tips on sanding curves. love the rocking horse
Thanks very much
Your client's kid is a lucky kid! Realy beautiful my friend!
Thank you!
@@RobinLewisMakes You are welcome my friend! Again, well done!
A complex project great for learning on, Im sure there were a lot of "firsts" in that build. End result was awesome. 👍🔨
Awesome job. Greetings from El Salvador Central America.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely superb mate, my wife's just found out she's pregnant so I'm going to have a little crack at something similar
Mate that was outstanding, there were so many angles my head hurts. Great job!
Hahaha, thanks!
Absolutely brilliant
Great job!!!
Awesome work

Great project, nicely done!
I spent a lot of time watching the video and trying to figure out what music was playing in the background 😂
Thanks
Great work Robin . Like to make one for my grand daughter . Where can I find the plans?
Very nice work, Robin! Love your thought on the type of finish you used for this.
Thanks!
Love the way this project came out. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks!
Good video, thanks for sharing, Do you have plains for this? Would like to make one.
Love the grain on this. Beautiful
Thanks Sarah
Yeah I can believe that was a lot more work than planned with all those joints! Turned out lovely, though!
Thanks Art
Nice work Robin. Here in Tasmania Tas Oak is most commonly made from Mountain Ash, Eucalyptus regnans. World's tallest flowering plant. Just a bit of trivia for ya. Thanks for this video, gonna make one for the grandkids :-)
And with the tallest tree standing 100 meters up (you piqued my interest clearly) that's even more impressive!
Excellent work
Thank you
Hi Robin, excellent job!!! Do you can share the measures? Thank you very much!
Hahaha thanks for including the part where you got hurt . 😂 great job tho sir !
Love it!
Thanks!!
Exelente labor, maestro tu eres,saludos desde Uruguay
A very nice good job.
Thank you very much!
Hola! tienes los planos para seguir bien los cortes y las proporciones, Gracias!
Great job. Such a beautiful and elegant rocking horse. I would like to build one for my little daughter but i don’t have any to copy the measurements. Any chance you coud leave a reaply with the measurements please?
Nice job
Looks good mate. Similar design to one I made for my lad. Love the soundtrack. Again.
Nice build
Thanks!
Hi and good night
Do you have the pattern so i can build this horse. Thank you.
Do you have the molds to make the horse or the measurements. Greetings, beautiful work
Man I really want your playlist
Awesome. Well done.
Thank you!

I was also wondering what happened to the podcast?
Thanks mate! I don't think the podcast is going to be coming back unfortunately, nothings lined up at least. Good call on the pattern bit! I've seen other channels do it, it definitely makes sense!
That's a real shame. Good luck for the future. Maybe a new pod cast...... 😁
What is the measurement
Do you have any rough blueprints that we could follow? Are the 4 legs the same length?
very nice
I'm wondering if you have a blueprint of this project available.
I'm learning carpentry and wanting to make a rocking horse as one of my 5 projects. This one is absolutely gorgeous.
If not blueprints then what are the boards you use. I can't tell if its 2x4 or bigger from the video.
5:40 FFFffffff! We’ve all been there! 🤕
🥰
Not a proud moment haha
Nice!😎👍
Thanks!
Start it by facing down
Wow nice creative....but iam disappointed bcz I can't get this horse bcz my sis kids love dis one..from india
Thanks
@@RobinLewisMakes ..can u send me dis..how much sir
1:26 what type of clue do you use to stick the paper to the wood?
Its a spray adhesive from a craft store
@@RobinLewisMakes Thank you and amazing work!
@@RobinLewisMakes How do you remove the paper agian? Just sanding?
amazing😇😇😇i want to this
I am in the process of making one for my 6 month grandson. Loved the way you do it. My question is the dimension of the horse? Great work by the way!
Thanks. Unfortunately I don’t have the dimensions and it’s already gone off to the client
What am I missing at 10:31? Which step is this? Sorry if I’m being dense!
That’s drilling holes to attach to the rockers, at the drill press

How much would you charge for something like this rocking horse?? $$$$$
how much do you charge for one

Don't you get demonetized for all of this awesome music in background ?
It's happened a couple times but I just appeal it and it gets reversed almost immediately
Desde Palmira Colombia 😍👍🤗
Gracias!
how to get the perfect measurements of the radius of a rocker (rocker horse or baby bed or a chair)
Otimo trabalho,vou ver se faço um desses pra meu filho,👏👏👏
Obrigado!
Lagwagon!!
Hey man fellow South African here. Where do you get your reclaimed wood?
I m from Argentina
hi what are the measurements
of the head ?
wowee!!
How long did it takes you to actually build it ?
It was about 3 full days
Can i get this horse
Hi sir I am from India
If you don't mind can you say measurements
How Do you find the right angles?
Most of it was trial and error but once you have an angle you like you can work from there
Okay Thanks
Its okay i bulid a kind off the same like yours?
hope you got paid well for this one my friend..
Good howe matsh
Amigo me puede hacer el favor de regalarme las medidas
Mast
first thing i was told day 1 of my apprenticeship hands never in front of chisels
Having not done any formal training I’m interested which part im doing it. Didn’t know there was a “front” of a chisel
@@RobinLewisMakes the sharp end should always pointed away from body , saying that emptied the first aid box in my first week and got roasted ever time
nice job, music not so much lol
Haha, thanks
