Christmas is coming
Well, after Keith posted all his great toys he has made for the charity Christmas appeal I thought I had better get started.
These are the first of the items I intend to produce this year. They are a little pull along block spinner, so as you pull it along the blocks get spun by the wheels. These are from plans I got from Crowie a few years ago and they are a fairly regular build each Christmas, but maybe not quite as many as this year which is 10. Fun and easy to make but I wish I had someone in the household who enjoyed painting

Top effort Dallas but sir, you’ve cheated.
The wheel, the peg and the block colours are all supposed to match
Not a big deal, the kids will still have a ball with the racket they make pulling them down the hall, especially on timber floors
Cheers, Peterbilt

Top work Dallas.
They look great
I hate painting too, but the effort reaps reward.
Regards
Keith

I wouldn't be able to bring myself to paint all the components the same colour. The more variety and brighter the better, the way I look at it.
