In July of last year my wife, (Tina Whitman), and I became proud grandparents of a beautiful baby boy, Gabriel Racioppa.
In the beginning of May, with his 1st birthday only a few months away, I started designing a Rocker for him. I had built a traditional Horse Rocker for his mother when she was a youngster and I wanted to carry on the tradition.
With the Biker side of me kicking in, I decided to move away from the traditional Horse Rocker and design a Harley Davidson Rocker. Below are a few pics of the design and the final product.And here is a video.
Enjoy!
