There’s still a few tweaks to do to the gokart, around the steering but the family project is done! Jack was the first to faceplant on the driveway tonight! Good dose of gravel rash! Excellent! Go hard kid!
Another winner rolls out of the workshop!
Mechanic Livvy getting to grips with adjusting the steering. Note the safety gloves!
Sarah was doing a horsey day so I took the kids out to the Groynes for a play and bit of fresh air. They had a blast and just ran around heaps. Was great to see them having fun! They’re cool kids and really love each other!
Quick GoKart project
When we got back, Olivia was asleep in the car, so Jack and I hit the workshop and in an hour or so we knocked up the start of a pretty cool GoKart! It’s just a push one, but it’ll be fun. They picked up a couple of extra wheels for the front from Bunnings today so we’ll finish the front axle tomorrow.
Check out this 1/50 replica of the family boat. My boy is doing well in the workshop. He did this himself.
Jack spent the afternoon in the workshop today making a ‘Robo-Dog!’. He invented this and made it completely by himself! He has his own little toolkit and drill and loves doing little projects.
Awesome seeing my wee boy becoming a workshop lad!
Those of you with a keen eye will notice that Jack and I have added a keyboard and speaker to the arm of the robot we’re building. We’re just about to add an FM radio to the other arm and then we’ll start attacking the arms with servos to get them moving!
Jack and I are working on a robot project and aim to do a little bit more each week. Today Jack installed and soldered the led eyes, 300ohm resistors and connected the switch and battery.
Tomorrow he’ll finish soldering the circuit board for the electric piano we’re strapping to the arm. He’s really getting into this!
Jack and I are getting there slowly on our little project…
Jack and I are building a robot in the garage. I’m teaching him about the tools. We’re planning to add some electronics along the way and see what we can make it do! Going to be fun!
Jack and I whipped up this little invention in the workshop tonight. It’s a locked ‘Coconut Safe’ to hide his robot ‘Hinge Dog’. I think we may be onto a whole new line of toys!
