Rockytime Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I see walking toy animals. They are cute. I did download a pattern from You Tube and made it. However, does anyone know where I can find other patterns? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsN Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Can you post a picture or a link to the one you made. I want to make sure I am thinking of the same thing you are. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Good morning Katie. This is a crude little kangaroo I made from instructions from "Instructibles." These little critters can be seen on You Tube searching for walking toy animals or something like it. They are fun little buggers and little kids would love them. They walk down an inclined plane.

Rob Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Have a look at Roberto Lou Ma. He's on Youtube as RLOUMA. He has a number of walking toys and automata. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Les, ran across some today while looking at Paul Meisel's site for different plans for something else. They seem to have a few different options for your walking animals. I did a search for "Pull-Toy" as that is what they call them on their site and it appears they have a number. Just click through to see them here: https://www.meiselwoodhobby.com/SearchResults.aspx?terms=Pull-Toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I have that same roo on my desk. It reminds me of being a kid and the Weeties boxes had these animals inside in the form of a kit. You pressed them together and they would wobble their way down an incline or there was a small plastic medal which you tied to the animal via a length of cotton. You'd then place the medal over the edge of a table and it would make the animal walk towards it as gravity pulled down. The Animal always stopped on the edge and never fell. Magic to a little bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 You might check out this book. Bet you could get it cheaper off Ebay or somewhere https://foxchapelpublishing.com/animated-animal-toys-in-wood.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 @Rockytime Les, besides the others we have provided above - I also just found a couple of "bonus" patterns for a bunny and a kitten on the Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts site here: http://scrollsawer.com/2014/01/10/creating-pull-toy-friends-bonus-patterns/ Apparently, there is a dog pattern that was provided in the Spring 2014 Edition (Issue 54) of the magazine if you have that edition or the CDs. Then these two were "bonus" patterns added to their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Many thanks Melanie and all who gave suggestions for me. I just finished a walking bird which does not walk. Just falls on it's beak. Back to some barnyard engineering. John B and meflick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
