Well progress a little slow today all 5 bodies, heads and hats are now turned. Just another 8 legs and arms to turn. As well as 5 bases and hat brims to cut out before some sawing and painting

That looks like one of them soldier that march in a parade.

The turning continues, managed to get all of the legs and most of the arms done today between giving the "Flower" piece some top coat.

So I have three at the stage shown in the picture.

I need to make a cradle to put a groove up the back and along the top of the body for the mechanism. This is not my design but from, the Woodturning magazine some of the family wanted some for Christmas so decided to make 5 instead of just the two.
