Thread: Looking for wooden toy maker

G'Day and welcome to the forum, along with the wonderful world of toymaking.

Their are few beaut toymakers around Melbourne but maybe you could also put out a call to the local Woodwork Club or Men's Shed requesting assistance.

If you're near Geelong, they have a beaut woodwork club there with some of the members on the forum.

Sorry I can't help as Blue Mountains is a long way from Melbourne [thankfully ].

Good luck.
Cheers, Crowie

It may help or encourage others to respond if they knew a little more about your proposal / request? Is it a one-off, limited production or for resale?

These days most wood workers steer away from children's toys especially ride-on toys as the common wood workers product liability insurance policies mostly have specific exclusions for "sit-on or climb-on toys." Unfortunately a sign of the times, to much litigation.
