Pull Along Boot
Pull Along Threadable Boot
Whatjaneed:
Scrap 19mm Pine
Wheels
Dowel for axles
Sandpaper
Cord
Finish
Step 1
Draw your boot or trace around a template.
Step 2
Cut out the shape and sand smooth. Create wheels and sand well.
I find threading wheels onto a bolt and sticking them in my drill works well.
Step 3
Drill lace holes and axle holes. Dry fit the boot to ensure everything works.
Step 4
Drill a hole to attach your cord and fill it with wood glue.
Plug the cord and a piece of dowel into the hole.
Step 5
Take the other end of the cord and soak about 25mm in some wood glue and ‘tease’ the end to form a stiff end as the glue dries.
This acts as a tow rope to pull the boot along as well as the 'needle'
with which to thread through the holes.
Great for fine motor skills.
