Latest Toys
Gooday,
Have made these over a few weeks as I found time, energy and a warm environment.

Great Job
Hi Stationary
I think you have done a great job on the toys! …… Are they for your grandkids!
Did you follow some plans or put them together out of you head as you went!.. I think the paint work looks great as well finishes them of nice.
I am looking forward to seeing some more work out of your work shop
Regards Cobra

G'Day "Stationary",
What a top bunch of toys you've made.
You certainly made them look very good.
As Col has asked, are they for grandkids?
My question is what dimensions & who's plans are the 2 construction machines, please?
Keep up the great toymaking.
Cheers, crowie

Who did I make them for?
Gooday Crowie, Colbra and Crafty, plus Viewers,
Well, I started off making the Skid Steer loader for my Grand Nephew, but I dont think he will get this particular one. Have another one for him in the pipeline nearer Christmas.
The rolling toy is from plans by woodworkingdownunder.com - but it is a very old plan.
The Road Roller and the Skid Steer Loader are from aschisworkshop.com - and I have previously shown Aschi's Crawler tractor with Vibrating Roller behind. As I am learning all the time, I started with the simplest ones I could find.
We are in the process of establishing a new 30 ft by 80 ft Men's Shed here in Bordertown, SA. Collecting money at present.
The toys will be part of a Goods and Services Auction (hopefuly raising around $20,000) that we are going to run in the near future.

My Return
Good morning Stationary thanks for getting back to us it’s great to hear of another Men’s Shed coming on line.
I have been calling into them as I travel about the place, I really miss my shed but I will be back home at the end of July.
Hope your auction raises the money you’re after. Are you aware there is a men’s shed section on the forum, you may interested in having a yarn there as well.
Looking forward to hearing any seeing more of your projects.
Colbra

Well done on the toys.
Think the skid steer toy looks great. Looking forward to more photos of your toys.
Good luck with the fundraising.
Tony.
