Toy stove

[Fuzzie]

So somebody wandered into the Men's shed one day wanting a toy stove.
Silly me volunteered and here is the result.

It mainly slots together and could be taken apart and flat packed. I have however added some screws to hold the top down to prevent it flipping off when lent on. That effectively locks it all together, just needs a couple of hanging hooks for the pots.

That looks very nicely made. If you can flat pack it maybe you will get some orders from Ikea. Great job.

A great little toy well made and painted, I like the idea that it can be taken apart for transporting it. There are so many thing you can make for boys that it is good to see something for the girls

Thanks guys. I found a plan for a much larger kitchen built on the slot together principal. I used the idea to make just the single appliance+sink. The requested toy was fairly vague on specs so I hope the client likes it.

It's pretty much the first time I've tried to make something out of plywood. The sheet I started with was recycled 1/2" external ply. I found the glue on that a bit brittle when trying to shape the hooks and eyes. I also probably made the joints a bit on the tight side. The uprights were cut from some recycled pallet wood that was turned leaving some length at each end for slotting. I'd use better quality ply if I ever did it again.

The shed has a stash of test paint pots from local paint stores. Most of the colours are fairly bland with a just a few bold ones. I had to toss up between pastels greys and greens and those colours.

Total material cost. $0.

What an excellent build.

That is the costs I like

The hanging rail was a bit on the high side for the intended recipient so we dropped it down 150mm and added a tap for the sink.
