KIDDIE CAR

Here is the original article straight from
Book No. 4514, PRACTICAL DELTA PROJECTS

DELTA MFG. DIVISION

The top and bottom sections of the sprocket are fitted together and locked in the assembled portion with a cross dowel which may be either glued or left loose for disassembly.

Many times you have requested plans for a kiddie car such as presented here. The entire job should be made from hardwood such as birch or maple. The seat and main part of the body is 3/4" solid lumber. The front sprocket is turned on the lathe in two parts from 1-3/4" square stock. The bottom section of the sprocket is left square and after turning the upper dowel section in the lathe the bottom section of this piece is bandsawed out to receive the front wheel and axle. The upper section is turned on the lathe and drilled to fit the dowel as shown in the drawing on the following page. All wheels are held on the axle with dowel pins as shown in the detailed drawing. The finish may be natural with bright enamel wheels and handle or use your own ideas. All edges should be sanded off round to prevent injury to the children.
