A Quick Pony

[Ken Massingale]

Tinas close friend suddenly found herself with custody of 2 small grandsons. Being a grandma she didn't have lots of toys for the small boys to occupy themselves with.
I stopped by Lowes for a 2 by 8 by 8 pine board and knocked this out.

The mane is Walmart fringe and the tail is Dollar General fake hair braids. I tried the DG hair for the mane but after trying for a couple of hours to glue loose hair into the 1/8" groove in the head, I went with fringe.
Then spent an hour chasing long black fake hair around the shop.

Pretty cool Ken :icon_thum Your solution to the material problem for the non wood portion of the project shows that you have a pretty inventive mind. :wsmile:

Hoppy, Roy, Tom Mix, Alan Ladd, Gene, Cisco, Red Ryder, Rifleman, and the Lone Ranger would be proud of that one! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Nice job Ken:icon_thum But I believe that I seen "two grandsons" there - you might want to laso another one of those stallions there so they can both chase those cattle around

Ken, it just goes to show that fun doesn't have to cost a lot of money. Ingenuity is great.

 

[CrealBilly]

[Ken Massingale]

Thanks guys, it was a fun quickie build.
Making stuff for the lil kids is very rewarding for me.

Phillip, nah just one pony. Let um fight over it, that builds character and prepares them for the life ahead!

Nice for a quick job.

The way to do the hair is to drill a row 1/4 inch holes, fold the hair in half and use a small wedge to drive it into the hole.

Nice job on the pony. And no batteries needed.
