Thanks for posting the link. I'm currently making the lion tamer from the plans in The Art & Craft of Wooden Toys. The measurements there don't seem to match the photos. If that doesn't work out I can fall back on the metric measurements listed in this CMT list.
I have made more than one Lion Tamer based on the "Art & Craft" book (e.g.: http://tinyurl.com/23ll9pc) and the measurements in the book are fine. There could be some differences between those given in the book and those provided in the pdf file. Stick with one set measurements as the two may not be interchangeable.

Good to know, then I will persevere.
Thanks.
