Having a 5 week old boy now, I've started to prep myself for toy making. I may even make some wooden toys for my boy.

I've found www.toymakingplans.com a good site for plans. There's also www.woodenjoys.net, an Australian place selling timber wheels if you don't want to make them yourself.

Cheers,
Nathan.

If you are looking for plans from an Australian designer, check out Aschi's Workshop.

He has a great range of truck plans available (amongst other toy plans) - all super easy to make and cheap on the pocket!!

He is offering a "FREE" 1930's style Fire Engine plan which you can try out.

This plan is also available for free download from WoodenJoys.
