Spanky

We are starting an independent project that shows problem solving skills and people skills. The title of our project is Spanky. It is a sawhorse with legs with wheels on the bottom of them strapped on with bike forks.
I will be working with Adam and we will make them out of some wood Adam's grandfather dropped off at the bike shop last week. It is a challenge because I will show problem solving skills by constructing from scratch a wooden saw horse. Then we're going to strap wheels to the bottom of the saw horse with 2 by 4's and we are going to try to make some steering mechanism for the saw horse.
We are going to use 6 inch nails and connect the legs to the bottom of the horse and then we are going to drill out the bottom of the legs to put the bike forks into them. Then we are going to super glue them into the drilled out holes in the bottom of it. Finally we are going to sand it down and spray paint it and put our own designs on the side of the horse. Then we will turn it in for our final grade and then the year is over.
