Wow! Your scooter is beautiful!
That thing really is beautiful. I don't know how long it took to make, but IF your father was up to making more, I'm sure they'd sell.
Wow! Your scooter is beautiful!
His scooter looks so nice! He seems like a talented handyman. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Also, Sparkles is adorable! [img]smile.gif[/img]
What a beautiful work of art and such a wonderful treasured momento! Since DH made my girls the picnic table; I am going to show him this album and ask him to make my morsels a scooter! HA!

That is really great! I made a similar one (but more rustic) as soon as I learned that the AG one was plastic. I used a clementine (sedless tangerines) crate left from the holidays and some odd things I had in my work room. I don't have good tools, so just did the best I could. I wish I had your dad's help to make mine more refined.

DD's 83 year old grandfather made this for her because none of us liked the idea of a plastic scooter from the 1930's. My dad said they used to make these as kids and ride on them until they fell apart. He had so much fun doing it that he made one for our neighbor's dolls too. Thank you American_Mommy for the original plans. We modified and changed the sizes slightly so that the scale was correct for 2 dolls and Kit does not have to hunch over to ride.
The wheels are made of metal and move independantly of one another (I knew the retired auto engineer's attention to detail would show up somehow). LOL[URL=http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2104397522]Kit's Scooter</a>

One more time. Please forgive me while I learn. i seem to be having a mental block on what they are saying on the instructions page.

If this doesn't work and make a hyperlink, I'll give up and stop being a pest.
