    Default First build - Train

    Thought would put up the first build i did a few months ago. Got the ideas from some reading here and elsewhere and basically to own plans.
    Was for a grandsons first birthday. Trying to improve each project i do.
    Cheers

    Paid in full Sam, can’t beat putting smiles on a child’s face with the handmade wooden toys from your shed; TOP MARKS!
    And yes making toys is a perfect stress relief!
    Looking forward to seeing your truck sir…
    Cheers Peter

    A good job on the train as Peter says the Wood Magazine Construction Series are good basic plans yet are easily adaptable with extra details as you want. Enjoy the journey and the smiles that it brings.
