Toys

[Turaj]

Here are a few toys that I made for my great niece and nephews. Hopefully these pictures can give others with little kids in their family ideas for gifts. I don't think bigger kids would mind either (unless they live in the digital world ).




The trucks are follow up to this truck that I made two years ago. The two brothers now have three trucks (cabs) with one tanker, two flat beds and one low boy (all interchangeable)! I am hoping next year, I can mix and match to come up with different trailers.

The trucks and the animal train are from "The Great All American Wooden Toy Book" by Norm Marshall.

Turaj - looks great, and great ideas too, thanks.

Beautiful work, Turaj. I wouldn't mind having one of those myself.

PS You wouldn't mind if I did some copying, would you? Thanks.

Really nice work Turaj! I am sure they will enjoy those trucks

[Turaj]

Thanks for all the kind words.

Loring, I am sure you will have fun making some of the projects from that book. One thing I really like about his designs (beside all the details) is how easily you can modify them.

Those look great, and it looks like a fun project to do! I am going to have to dig up that book!

Those are really cool and really well done. I always wanted to make toys like that for my kids when they were little, but never had time because they were little . I just had a nephew born last week so it looks like I'll be racing you guys to get the used copies of that book.

Loring, thanks for posting link. I didn't see Turaj' reference to a book in the original post.
