Decided to have a go at making toys
The woodwork club I have just joined gets its members to make some toys every year to give to needy kids. So I thought that I would have a go.

Usually I get something and put under the tree at K Mart, It gives me pleasure to wonder who got the gift on Christmas day, wonder who will get this?
Think I will like this activity

Very nice Phil, great cause and I am sure some little child will have lots of fun with that truck.

Crikey Paul you have certainly been busy, suppose when I retire and if my wife's health improves I may be able to do a fraction of what you have done I am impressed, Originally Posted by Paul O'H. Ingersoll Canad

Good for you Phil!
I made a rocking horse for my children years ago and I'm sure I still have some rudimentary sketches of it somewhere if you're interested.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.
