Toymaking Christmas pallet challenge
Toymaking Christmas pallet challenge on the link below......
Have fun one & all......
Hi All you Pallet/Toy makers/Challengers!
Task: To create a simple toy for a child under 3years of age from a pallet in 15 days.
Rules: All entrants must provide a photo of the pallet and 3 complete photos of the toy. The comp begins on the 1st of December and finishes on the 15th. (we will need a judge). I will supply a prize pack in Jan 2016 to the winner. The toy must have wheels and they must be shop-made.
How does this sound people?

Wheels are a bummer. Can this requirement be removed?

Without wheels someone from the box making section could just put one of their exquisite boxes in, call it a toy and win hands down

Hi Evanism, Little wheels are a piece-of-cake with a hole saw. You will have them in minutes. Cheers, Fred Originally Posted by Evanism

This isnt my concern, for I make carts with wheels for toystores (below), but I was thinking it was limiting the toy options available to us
I will reply to the other thread per Crowies suggestion

Yes
Maybe we should get together some rules, I though making the wheels would be a good challenge as it keeps the ideas simple. I always find the more restrictions the more I enjoy the challenge.
Christos is now officially taking over the comp so it will be his call

Hi Evanism, Sorry, I misunderstood your meaning. Thought you hated wheels. Cheers, Fred Originally Posted by Evanism
