Thread: Its that time of the year again

It’s been a while since I have completed any projects and the road grader still hangs there waiting to be finished... But I have been busy between trips away, and family matters.
Each year for the last ten or so years I have made these little cars and trucks they have become very popular with some of the other toy makers Crowie in particular who does a fabulous job on them, I did ask him once while he was visiting if he was in fact the real Norm Marshall he just ignored me I think he has got use to my humour.. Good on you Pete
Back to the cars & trucks they were going to South Africa but the people said if they were to send them they would never get to the children and would be sold at markets
I have been told that to make sure that they get where they are supposed to they have to be almost hand delivered to the children
I am very disappointed with the fact that it is not recommended to send my cars and trucks on to there
I will still put them through the Men’s Shed but at this point it is now a bit up in the air as to where they best go a decision will be made tomorrow.
For myself I don’t care too much just as long as a child gets one for Christmas and no money is involved.
Just to close off on things….. I am now going to finish the road grader I also feel that is worthwhile mentioning that there are some top plans for cars and trucks here in Australia and I am going to use them next time. I have already built a flatbed semi-trailer from an Australian sight some time ago you see it from time to time in the back ground when I have taken other pictures. Here is another site that has some great plans Wooden Trucks Plans and Patterns for wooden toys Enjoy Making Wooden Toys

I have put some picture up of the cars & trucks they still have to have another coat of shellack
