   Scott,
   FWW #87 features an article by Mario Rodriguez on making a child's tandem rocker; the seats face each other. It should be simple to convert it to a single rocker if you like. This model is a Windsor style. GP

   Did you find a plan for a child's rocker? I looked at issue 87. Could not open the issue and only saw the one plan for something other than a rocker. Not sure I am happy with my subscription.

   I've had good success starting out by modeling full sized furniture in SketchUp and then scaling it down to make a child-sized version.

   For all rocking chairs, I recommend the Hal Taylor design and process. It's more expensive than FREE, but you start at page one and go! by the time you finished the manual, you have a beautiful rocker, properly sized and proportioned.

   A 20-year old thread... the requester is probably a granddad at this point, and the child is building one for his child.

   When my granddaughter was born in 2013, I wanted to make her a rocker. I saw a picture in Fine Woodworking that looked perfect. It was just in the background of a picture and I can't recall where I saw it. It was made by Mike Pekovich.
   Here's a picture of my chair and the plan Mike sent me.
