    Default The Dispenser!

    Firstly, hats off to whoever came up with this original design. I saw it elsewhere and decided to make a similar one using some leftover Australian cedar and acrylic I had in the shed..
    The round rod is turned to capture the Smartie and then it is sent down the cascade to the bowl and the kids sticky fingers.
    The kids love it but the parents are not so sure. The joy of being a grandparent.
    It measures about 450mm high x 150 mm wide x 60 mm x 1000kJoules per serve.

    The joy comes from not having killed your kids so you now have grand kids Ruddy. Having had 2 of our here for a short time today its heaven.

    Now this toy will bring hours of fun to the parents wondering why the kids are so hyper, till they wake up to lollies are all gone.


    Lovely wood combination, wonderful grain texture. Choc's will melt first and gum up the works the down side.

    Beautiful craftsmanship Ruddy.
    Great looking timber but what timber is it please.
    You've done a first class job on this desirable toy; when it's full of lollies that is.
    Cheers, crowie

    I am awaiting my new prescription glasses as we speak, they said 2 weeks which means Friday or early next week.
    Honestly I did read it but have completely missed the "Australia Cedar left over" line........
