Col’s Penny Farthing Bicycle

At left is a Penny Farthing created by Col Bridgeman.
It is made from plywood and is not drawn to scale.
The wheels were cut from a solid piece using the Scroll Saw. According to Col the hardest part was inserting the axle in the main wheel so that the pedals could be fixed whilst still allowing the wheel to turn.
The curved frame took a few efforts to get it right and the little seat sets it off.
The small stand to hold the bike completes the picture.
