Here are some of my latest banks.  The dinos are new to my collection.

John,

How did you make the cylinder hollow bodies?

I'd be interested in that as well, those are pretty cool.

I make them just like a bucket.  There are 16 staves (?) with an angled cut at 11 dgs - the outside is 1".  I turn them on the lathe to make them round - don't bother with the inside of course.  I hand some others that want a video so I am going to try that.  I have a request for 2 more.  If the videos comes out I will post it.

very
Cool 

How did you handle letting the kids eventually get their coins out?


Would you mind if we borrow that design concept?

I bore a hole in the bottom and used a cork.  I used a 1.5 inch cork.
