Making a toy rocket
(lemmy.world)
My toddler is obsessed with rockets at the moment, so I decided to use an extra length of dowel to make him a sturdy one.
I'm currently brainstorming the best way to attach the fins, figured I'd see if anyone here had any ideas
Currently, I'm thinking of cutting perpendicular grooves from the bottom that the fins will slot into, with each pair of fins being a solid piece. But keep in mind I haven't made the fins yet, so that's definitely not set in stone.
Modeling after the v-2 because it looks as stereotypical as a rocket can
Oh damn, make it like a milking stool, that's brilliant.
Also I will absolutely be rounding any hazardous areas
Teach your toddle to hold the pointy thing sideways and in front of him, because even a dull tip can do damage.
~Also, please follow up with the final product. I might do this with my teenager. ๐~
That's actually a great point that I never considered teaching him
(My hobby is starting and not finishing projects, so I'll do my best, but no promises)
