80's/90's woodwork book - Yellow/Red Go-Kart
Discussion
A bit of an odd request but I figure if anyone if going to be able to help me find this it will be PH.
Short Version:
My dad built me a red/yellow wooden go-kart from a woodwork book that he had, I seem to remember it was a blue book but could be wrong. It contained a variety of wooden toys and how to build them. Can you help me find it?
Long Version:
My Dad has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and by the doctors estimates only has about a month left.
It's not been an ideal relationship as my parents split up about 19 years ago and I've not seen him for about the last 15 years but I would really like to make a gesture and show him I have some great childhood memories by building him (or, getting someone to build) a scale model of this kart he built me when I was little, even had a personalised numberplate!
If anyone could help me find this book that contained it I would appreciate it so much.
The kart was painted mainly yellow but with red around the edge parts, it had a cylinder shaped front with wooden slats and was steered by rope attached to the front axel holder.
Again, I'd be so grateful if someone had this book on a shelf or could help point me in some kind of direction to finding it.
