Plunge, film bobbins, carpentary section on a plate

What memories do you have of your first film?I was a pampered child because I was a late child. My brothers were quite elder to me and were not rivals. I was the ladla bachcha. When I came here, this became my extended family.
How tough was it for a child of that age to act?I didn't know it was acting at all. I just knew it was a different game where the rules are different. This (for me) is a theme park, where I have had my first toys. My first sword was literally crafted for me. I felt like a knight, like King Arthur. I walked out with my sword and when I broke that, I was taught in a lab here how to plunge a sword into somebody without the aftermath. My first knife was crafted by the carpentry section. My first go-kart was made out of film bobbins and we had it fixed from the carpentry section on a plate. It was fun.

Could you please tell me the meaning of highlighted parts?

I know "plunge" means "to move or fall suddenly forward and often a long way", but here I can't understand its meaning. Similarly, I know "bobbins" means a round shaped object with a thread on it but I have no idea what "film bobbins" means in this context. Similarly, I know a plate utensil but no idea what "carpentry section" or "on a plate" in this context.

On a plate: I don't know. Perhaps the bobbins were mounted on the underside of a flat base for the go-cart. Or perhaps 'on a plat
