Re: Komonsteve horse race help

Would you stick with the plain case as blueprint, polished brown or be more imaginative ?
Do you think the legs fold? Can't figure that and the coin box hanging underneath.

I suppose it's best to follow the plan and make it as original as possible.

Re: Komonsteve horse race help

Just hope I can jam it in my scanner, or I'll have to resort to image transfer and bucket of water... The horse has got 1 leg and a headless rider, same as blueprint, lead, I think...

Re: Komonsteve horse race help

Unfortunately, it is a ply front panel, but now you have sent the design which is a plain case, all ply, I think, I will make something that will complement it. Only real problem I can see is how to keep the balls in the case. I thought they ran in the tracks, not on top, as the drawings show. I gue...

Re: Komon Steve horse race help

This has a hinged bar on the left and right side which lifts so you can control ball speed, not the sprung type. Would it be a table top machine or on legs would you think?

This is close but barrel size is a bit small. I'll ask the seller on ebay if he sells larger ones. Thanks for the link.

Re: Where to get piano style lock for crane case top door

Yes, it's the same type of back on the piano with the latches but only the normal key hole and not the round barrel that fits through the hole. Roll top desk locks are similar as well, but pretty useless without the round important part. Also some sewing machine boxes have the catch part.

Re: My homemade Laughing Sailor

What else have you done or got planned? Made this Marathon Cycle case about a year ago. Sorry the pictures aren't the best quality . A singing Marilyn Monroe doll is in the design stages at present. Standing on a grate with a fan blowing up her dress - bit of a strange one possibly, but I'm sure I'...
