Road Racer Balance Toy
A hand made 3-D Race car from day gone by...
It shows that simple laws of physics never cease to appeal
and please young and old alike.
Hand cut from heavy recycled tin plate, hand painted in
richly crackled, distressed paint.
Using sharp chisels, craftsmen cut the steel plate into shape
and hammer the edges.Village painters hand paint faces
and important details. Apprentices do base paint and more
mundane details.
The distressed finish is the result of an old and proven system
of combined layers of paint of slightly different composition.
The final step is a hand rub with dark colored beeswax giving
it the final finish and feel. In the manner of their antique
predecessors, our balance toys are true originals!
Balance toys were originally called skyhooks, simple
counter-weighted toys which could be set on a shelf or the
rim of a table, and set in motion to everyone’s delight and
amazement.
It all goes back to childhood memories. Grown men buying
sailboats, old-timer cars, and old biplanes. Guided and inspired
by adventure books they read when they were boys.
