Wooden Farm Toys for Haymaking

Step 5 The seat and gear shift

 I made the seat to attach with some glue and a wood screw.  I drilled into a square block with a spade bit and then opened one side by hand with a chisel.  The seat is sized to accomodate a Fisher-Price "Little People" person.  The gear shift is a piece of 1/8 inch rod bent to look like a shift lever.  I drilled a hole to mount it, making it at an angle so it would appear the shift lever is actually in a gear.
