How to make Wooden Toy Robot

- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2022
- A couple of years ago I kept seeing little block robots and wanted to make some for my kids, nieces, and nephews.
They are simple builds really only needing a drill and a saw, some CA glue and paracord.
Use your creativity to determine the size of the hands, feet, head, and body.
I chose to give the robot a mouth using the table saw and countersunk some eyes.
In the thumbnail shot I used a 5/8ths forstner bit and CA glued some marbles for eye!
I drilled a hole all the way through the center of the head, and across for the arms.
The legs go in about 1cm and I drilled about halfway through the hands and feet.
Using CA glue you and activator if you like you can glue the feet and one hand.
Give the leg holes on the body a bit of CA glue and insert the paracord legs. The activator will set the glue immediately.
When doing the arms I would recommend sliding the paracord all the way through and then glue the other hand, you don't need to glue the arms into the body but if you do, slide the arm out a bit and then add some CA glue and pull the arm back in.
Keep the head/neck paracord longer than you need, once you glue the head on you can finish the cord off however you like.
Optionally if you don't want a knot on the top of the head then don't drill all the way through.
Using a lighter or a torch to clean up the ends of the paracord isn't needed but makes life easy!
I hope you enjoyed it, and if you did please leave a like 👍 and a comment 😀

Thanks ❤️
He's terrific Adam. For some reason he reminds me of the late English comedian Tommy Cooper. Cheers mate.
It might be the wide eyes? 😂
Thanks for watching Mark!
@@heyimamaker And the wide mouth! There's a terrific pic of Tommy that appears in Google images that shows what I'm thinking of. Cheers Adam.
I really enjoy the way you film and edit your videos not to mention the cool projects you make! This little guy is great! Thanks for sharing! 👏😁
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
I spy, you almost put his head on upside down! Love your Videos they're like the wood workers ASMR equivalent. So satisfying!
Yea, Mr Robot would have been sad :(
Nice video, I always enjoy a project build. Cute design too!
Thanks!
I made a few of these, and then made one for a co-worker so this one is special as none of the others have marble eyes :)
I enjoy watching your vids. Great gift idea for sure.
Yea, they are fun little builds. I'd love to make a really tiny one for a keychain some day.
Pretty cool, I like it!
Thank you! Cheers!
I love it! That was awesome!
Thanks Eric, it was a fun little project!
Very cute!
I made a new one today for a co-workers son and used marbles for eyes. I think it's actually better. 😂
@@heyimamaker good idea!
I am looking for a project I can make with my 2 year old grand daughter. I hope you dont mind but I might steal this wonderful idea! Great video!
I'd be honoured if you did! :)
Mr. Robo looking cool. Nice crafting. Pls let me know, what type of wood you used?
Thanks for watching, this was made using Walnut.
What kind of pencil or marking instrument are you using? I like the precision lines it makes.
Hey, thanks for watching!
I'm using a Rotring 800 0.7 mm pencil, I also use the Rotring 600 from time to time.
what did you spray after glueing?
It's a CA glue activator, it makes the glue set almost instantly.
