We bring to your attention a guide on how to make one “vehicle” for small children. This is not a car, not a bicycle, or even a scooter. If you need, for example, an electric scooter, then there is a huge selection of them here - https://www.osamarket.ru/velo/elektrotekhnika/filter/rul-is-1b72e642-97dd-11eb-3d8e-525400436b93/apply/ . However, there are also electric bicycles there. Kids love such fun, and if you buy this vehicle, your child will be in seventh heaven. And we will make a horse. This toy can be made in any size. But since it is more suitable for preschoolers, the seat should be no higher than 500 mm. from the floor. To make a horse you need 5-6 mm thick plywood and pine planks. Instead, you can take planks from shipping boxes. Before making a toy, you need to draw a life-size outline template on thick paper. To do this, first draw a grid with the same number of cells as in the figure. If in the figure the height of the seat from the floor is 50 mm, then in actual size it should be equal to 500 mm, that is, increased by 10 times. This means that the size of the cells on the paper must be increased 10 times compared to the drawing. To get the picture in full resolution, hover over it with the mouse and click “Save image as...” Now you need to draw the outline of the horse and runner on the grid. Then transfer the design onto both plywood pieces using carbon paper, cut out the parts and clean the edges with a file and sandpaper. When sawing, keep in mind that the horse's legs start from the base of the runner (see picture). Now the most difficult part: making the runners. For each runner you need to prepare 10 pine planks 250 mm long and 65 mm wide. and 10-15 mm thick. and 5 pieces of plywood of the same size. Place paper with a drawn outline of the toy on a flat, solid base. Pine planks are laid along the contour of the runner, cutting each one so that the ends of adjacent planks are tightly adjacent to each other. Then a cut-out plywood horse is placed on top so that both legs rest on the middle of the whole plank. Pieces of laminated plywood are placed on top so that they overlap the joints of the planks. Then the plywood and the horse’s legs are glued to the planks and nailed down with nails (8 nails per plank). After this, another row of pine planks is placed on the pieces of plywood, cutting their ends, as in the first row, and laying them so that they overlap the joints. After smearing the surfaces of the planks with glue, nail them to the lower layers (see picture). Access holes formed on the outer edge must be planed. Then both halves with glued runners need to be fastened together. To do this, you will need a trapezoidal block of 30X60 mm. It is placed under the seat and provides a two-way tilt of both plywood blanks: at the top the distance will be 60 mm, and at the bottom between the runners - 300 mm. A seat panel 200 mm long, 130 mm wide, 20 mm thick is attached to the trapezoidal block. A backrest with a height of 130 mm can be attached to the seat. Holes are made in the plywood parts into which the palm rest is secured. Between the plywood parts it can be of a square section of 40X40 mm, and the outward ends are 80 mm long. it must be made round, with a diameter of 20 mm. The foot rest is made in the same way as the hand rest, only its length between the plywood is greater (determined by location). Two cross members with a cross section of 20X60 mm are attached to the upper edges of the runners with nails and glue (see figure). After thoroughly cleaning all surfaces, corners and edges, the horse needs to be painted with nitro-enamel paints.
