The music box is a cheap wind up that I drilled into the top of the winding shaft to glue a penny nail in place, to mount a piece of scrap wood with magnets glued to it, the rest is history.
The song on the music box is jingle bells, so I went with a Christmas tree.
The car belongs to my daughter’s expensive music box, so I need to design a mini sleigh with magnet, and put some other items on top of the box, and etched into the sides.
A sleigh might be a bit short of snow there. I have forgotten the name but recall there was something like a cross between a toboggan and a surfboard that folk would take down prepared runs down the side of the mountains that was even more exciting (dangerous) than surfing. Which is why that died out and surfing remained I guess.
Anyway I would think that such a Hawaiian version of a sleigh might be interesting
Every Christmas Santa arrives on an outrigger canoe. I really need to rethink this as a Hawaiian Christmas for it to sell here. Instead of a bridge, it could be two palm trees that he goes under. It would also be nice to find an aloha oe Music box, but that seems like a pipe dream, couldn’t find it.
I made the santa yesterday but the details were a little burned out, so I am reworking it. Now maybe Santa needs to be in a canoe… but I have almost a whole day to play with it, after working almost 30 days in a row at the job that pays.
