Note to Self:

1. Build slightly larger version of Chuck's Treadle Engine with Belt Pulley for grandkid to play with.

2. Build Brian Rupnow's slinky machine to run off treadle engine.

3. Fight off adults who hog all the time playing with it.

Thanks Chuck,

One done, second one nearly done. 



Just need to add some set screws and shafts to the second one and they'll both be done.  Well, almost, I'll probably still want to make wooden bases for them...
