This little carriage rolls nicely.  Does it have a wooden axle or a metal axle?  The wood wheels look like they are just drilled with no metal sleeve.

El Caz,
A truly handsome coupling of brass & wood. I agree that its a fathers duty to provide the best education for his children that's possible, but you've also got to reward yourself every once in a while. ;D
I see that your trying to ventilate bull's eyes. Be forewarned: There's the possibility that you might become obsessed with this activity. If someone had told me around four years ago that I would become addicted with trying to hit a target with a round ball fired out of a short smoothbore barrel that was shaped like a cannon, I would have called them nuts. :D
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Boom J,  thanks.. As your know with my two kids now in college my play money is already spent :'(.. So I just felt is was a good time to reward myself..  After receiving my new prize I had no regrets  ;D.. Yes, I do believe I also will become obsessed to ventilate the bull's eyes with this short smoothbore cannon. Although a mighty task,  what kind of fun would it be if she just sat on a desk or a shelf in my home office.. Now thats nuts.  ::)
