How To Make Balsa Wood Crane

Balsa wood is popular both in domestic and international markets since it has been chosen as one of the ideal choices for making models, crafts and so forth. The balsa wood can be used to make crane actually. The crane can be used to move things around in any model construction site with toy trucks, dump trucks, sand, sawdust, and sticks. Here we will give you a brief introduction on how to make balsa wood crane.
First of all, prepare things that you will require. For example, you are advised to prepare 4 1/4 x 1/4 x 1-inch balsa wood sections, 4 1/4 x 1/4 x 3-inch balsa wood sections, 4 1/4 x 1/4 x 6-inch balsa wood sections, 1/4 x 1/4 x 12-inch balsa wood section, 1/4 x 1/4 x 1-inch balsa wood section, 1/4 x 1/4 x 2-inch balsa wood section, model glue, 8-inch section of string, paper clip, craft knife.
Second, you are advised to position 2 1/4 x 1/4 x 6-inch balsa wood sections parallel to each other. These are the sides. You can place one 1/4 x 1/4 x 1-inch balsa wood section between the sides at the top. Then place one 1/4 x 1/4 x 3-inch balsa wood section between the sides at the bottom. This forms one of the side panels. Apply model glue to each joint and allow it to dry completely. Create 3 more side panels.
Third, you should form the tower-like structure of the balsa wood crane by placing the 4 side panels together. Glue the joints together with model glue. Wait for a minute to allow the glue to dry.
Fourth, glue the 1/4 x 1/4 x 2-inch balsa wood section to the center of the 1/4 x 1/4 x 12-inch balsa wood section. The 2-inch section forms the pivot point for the crane arm. The 12-inch forms the crane arm and the pivot point rests on the top of the tower structure. Tie the 8-inch section of string to one end of the crane arm. Tie the paper clip on the other end of the string and this can be used as the crane hook.
Fifth, place the arm and pivot on top of the crane tower. Paint the crane bright color if the crane is to be used for a child's toy since kids tend to like the bright and colorful color.
