Project Information
I made one of these in 2018 and the grand-kids love it. I got the original design from David Wakefield's book of patterns.
The grand-kids push it on the carpet until it gobbles up the toes of their brothers or sisters
I wanted the mouth of the crocodile to open even further, so I modified the design. I increased the wheel size from 1.75 to 2.0 inch diameter so I could move the 3/8" drive dowel further away from the center of the wheel. I also added material to the 2 mouth pieces so the mouth would rotate further.
You can watch a Youtube video of this model in action using this link.
For more details on how I designed and made this model, see my woodworking web site using this link.
I think the grand-kids will have fun with this one!
Thanks
