I am sure the guys can come up with simular plans Juvy.
At $350 to $450 each ex USA I think they can
Look great and sure kids would love them.
Juvy,How about we see some of your scroll work.Really love to see it.

what makes you think I scroll? :roll: lol
I did post some photos on the scrolling forum before. The toys I make are usually puzzles for younger children, I don't make cars and trucks ( yet) so didn't think any of the guys here would be too interested in toys that don' t have wheels! :)

Here's a peddling Bobby ( from a scroll saw magazine) , a family of bunnies I made for last easter ( various old scroll saw pattern books) and a crocodile
I really enjoy working with pine and making simple toys, specially in between making portraits. It's totally different.... more relaxing because you can usually always figure out a way to fix any mistakes....

Thanks Aussie,
yes.... I'm logged on a lot... we stay connected all day simply because I have family both in the US and in Germany.... so there's always the chance of mail coming through.
So every time I take a break or if I hear mail come in I sit down here. Then have a wander to the forum and have a read... just stay logged on , but no... I do not sit here all day long reading everything in all the different forums. I go mainly to this toy one and the scrolling one. Every so often curiosity gets the better of me and I stick my nose into some of the other forums.

I get a kick out of helping people with information. No reason why they should waste as much time as I did searching the net.... we want them to do some woodworking! :)

Thanks Ruddy,
He ( there's only one, made two pics to show the movement of the legs) was fun to make and not hard, but I think he's a bit fragile for real play. I know when my boys were little they'd have either taken him apart just to see if they could put him back together.... or during a fight throw him at each other and he cuoldn't have survived that. So I'd say Bobby is more of a conversation piece then a toy. hmm.... unless.... maybe... if you'd enlarge the pattern, but then he couldn't be made on a scroll saw...
