Toy Project
I found an old pattern for a baby's rolling toy hanging on a nail in the shop, and decided to make one for the littlest grand son but the wooden ball I had was a bit big so I scaled up the pattern. A pair of offset ovals connected by four dowels to trap a wood ball. As the toy rolls on a hard floor the ball click-clacks side to side in the dowels. Walnut ovals from my property, maple ball from the hobby store, vegetable oil finish so there's no concern with it going into the mouth at some time....

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
