i built this last month for a granddaughter due the 19th oct. my grandson jax ryder is test piloting it, and says to his future cousin that "its really fast and she'll have to wear her seat belt".
i set up the rockers to rock left and right for infants, but when older the rockers can be set to rock front to back like rocking horse.
thanks for looking.

thanks again.

I just assumed you used some good old tools doing such fine work.
And now you are obliged to show us some pictures of the job, or at least the plane.

u guys are too nice, as a woodworker for 40 year this was a easy job for me. nothing more than some 5mm luan, 3/4" & 1/2" plywood, 1/4"thick mahogany, wood penetrating epoxy, gorilla glue, airgun & pins, some 1by, white caulk, (no inlay work) welded up a cutwater and made some transom bands (cutwaters.com). one of my sons milled the aluminum fairleader. I've restored a few antique inboard speedboats i.e. chris craft, gar wood and had to start a welding business to make some special parts for these classics. now, don't ask me todo any plumbing or electrical... it'll leak and the breakers will trip and catch fire.
here are a couple more pics. thanks again.
