cully's next project toy! - cully - 12-06-2014
well ive seen something on the internet that i thought thats good!
so im having a go at making one
even if it works as planed it could all fail and be a useless box if mums dog cant be trained to use it
nope its not a toilet im having a go at making a tenisball thrower for mums dog!
the idea is....box throws ball, dog fetchs ball, dog places ball in box, box throws ball
you get the idea.
mums dog is mad for tennis balls so it might be funny and actualy work
so today I started cutting up my ply to make the box also cut up some ally checker for the top. power tools FTW!
thanks goes to Frosty for donating a wiper motor :thumbs:

now ive come to a halt as i cant find a tennis ball to measure for the box depth
never mind
TO be continued

Its a box that will throw a ball for a dog...as long as the dog learns to put the ball back in the box, it means endless fun for the dog with minimal effort from the owner!
