Animated Wooden Dinosaurs

Animated T-Rex Wooden Toy

I stopped doing scooter projects at the end of October so I could concentrate on making Christmas gifts. This year I made animated wooden dinosaurs for my Granddaughter’s first birthday. Here’s some pictures and a link to google with some videos of them. They are based on designed by Dave Wakefield in his book Animated Wooden Toys.

The toys are very intricate; you can see the cams, pushrods and off-centered wheels in the photo below:
