    Default How easy we have toymaking these days.

    How easy we have toymaking these days.
    Last week my wife & I were in Sydney and found ourselves at the Hyde Park Barracks.
    It's now a museum and I took these photos of old tools used in our countries early days.
    Sorry about the photo quality as I just snapped the photo with my older phone camera.
    The craftsmen of those early days truly produced some great workmanship with very simple tools.
    Cheers, crowie.
