Considerations making a sheep. Since pallet wood is being used, need a tub. Bunnings sell tubs.
Sheep can be heavy, so need to think about a sheep carrier. The height of the legs needs to be enough, so a trolley can slide underneath the sheep.
Note, some tubs are higher than others. Some have handles. Need a gap to reach in to lift the tub out. I have a few tubs with plants growing, so they can be swapped around.
Here is a lower tub.
Study your pallet, this one has seven slats.
Pencil was used, but it didn't show up in the picture, hence, used the computer to past lines on the pictures.
The lines.
A circular saw can be used, but I finda jigsaw gives a neater cut.
Lifting the slats up that will form the front and back.
Cutting out the two sides.
First one done.
The two sides top and bottom, the slats from the middle can be lifted up. Sometimes a hack saw blade needs to be used to separate the slats.
The tub is placed between the two sides, and the sides are pushed up against the tub.The lifted slats form the front and back.
Can use a slat underneath, and not worry about the size of the tub.
One end is on. The round sections are done by using a paint can to have the same radius half circles at the edges and the top.
Packaging wood, about 3/4 inch thick. Great for making the legs and head.
Using a trolley to set the height of the sheep, so teh trolley can be pushed underneath.
