    Sure, I'll be gentle.

    They look.......terrific. I have three great nieces/nephews that are about the right age and these would be great gifts. Did you work from plans and if so, where did you get them?

      Thanks

      Thanks for the nice comments. No plans, just drew it up and experimented with final measurements.

        Then you're a natural. Those look fantastic.

              Not sure why you want folks to go gentle on ya. Those look great!

              The Post It Note holder is particularly cute... Kind of ties the whole family thing together... Very nice...

                took me three looks before I realized the post-it holder was a minature of the bear rocker. At first I though it was just another view of the kids rocker.
                And at the same time I was thinking gee, the missus is going to be on the short end if all she got was a little box to hold post-its. when I looked for the pic of the post-it holder that's when i realized it was different (from the scale of the picture frame in the back!) The miniature is sure fine looking and as David said, ties the whole family together. Nice work!

                  Great work -- just think what will happen when you get the router accessory table I sent to you up and flying!! If those are the first, start lining up larger peices of furniture -- you're ready!!!

                      Amazing work! Same boat as Loring - took a couple of takes to confirm that the third was a miniature!

                      Work of art, really!

                              Great work and how cool, the kids will love them.

                              You could easily start a business and sell them, when will the website be up?
