  1. Pedaling Cyclist wood pull-toy

    As others have observed, the original pattern for this old-fashioned wood pull toy is pretty flimsy, for children to actually play with. I was going to beef up all the 1/4" thick wood parts and make them about 3/8" thick using Sketchup, but that would require changing some other dimensions...

  2. Beefier design of Lady and Her Flock --Animated Pull Toy

    Back in January I built this animated pull toy using the pattern from Ken Folks' 1998 book of toy patterns. I posted this project on this web site here. Last July, I took most of my wood toys to a community event held at Marsh Park. The kids….....and adults loved playing with my toys...

  3. Wobbly Walrus push toy

    I took David Wakefield's base design for this wood toy, and then modified it so the mouth would open even further. The base is red oak. The wheels and tusks are maple. The wheels are offset on the axle to give the walrus its wobbly walking method. A cam drives a dowel that opens and closes...

  4. David Wakefield's Hungry Hippo

    After building David Wakefield's animated Beaver toy, I went ahead and got his book with over 20 animated wood toys. In his book, David said he has settled in on cherry as the best wood for his animated toys because it is light and strong. He dips the toys in food grade mineral oil when they...

  5. Stegosaurus animated wood toy

    This is the latest David Wakefield designed animated wood toy I have built. I made this one from Brazililan Cherry, then dipped in food grade mineral oil. To avoid wood burn and an impossible sanding job on the triangular element, I scroll sawed it using a spiral blade. You have to see the...

  6. Scented Skunk animated pull toy

    After getting David Wakefield's book on patterns for animated wood toys, I am building the ones I find most interesting to me. The Scented Skunk uses a cam driven by the back wheels to make the tail go up and down. I used maple for the light colored wood and walnut for the dark colored wood...

  7. T-Rex Dinosaur animated wood toy

    This is the latest David Wakefield designed animated wood toy I have built. People I have showed it to so far, think it is the best one yet! I made this one from American Cherry, then dipped in food grade mineral oil. You have to see the Youtube video to appreciate this one in action…...

  8. Tail-thumping animated beaver toy

    The Oct/Nov issue of Woodcraft magazine has the plans for David Wakefield's Tail Thumping Beaver animated toy. The beaver's tail moves up and down as you push it forwards or backwards. A cam attached to the rear wheels moves the tail up and down. I made up a batch of 10 beaver toys using...

  9. Hand Tools
    So I just got back from a trip to help out my aging parents, and since my Dad doesn't expect to ever do anymore "tinkering", I filled up the back of my small car with miscellaneous tools that he mostly inherited and then "sat on" for many years. One part of the haul was a very good condition...
