  1. Projects 1930's Model A Ford

    This is the second of these model's I've made. I never thought I'd make a second. It is a Dan Gatto plan and quite detailed and in imperial measurements (Oz is metric). My first was done in the first of several lockdowns here in Melb during Covid in 2020/21 This second one has been done during...
  2. 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...
  3. Dressing up a stained glass airplane with spoked wood wheels

    This is the 2nd stained glass biplane with a built-in kaleidoscope. On the first plane, I cracked the glass in the lower wing in 3 places….....right where the brass struts were soldered onto the copper foil on the glass. I remember having trouble soldering the brass struts…......so I must have...
  4. Modified Design of animated pull-toy Lady and her FLock

    I saw this cute animated toy on the Internet somewhere. I tracked it down to coming from Ken Folk's 1998 book, Folk Toys: Patterns & Projects for the Scroll Saw. I bought a copy of the book, and entered the design into Sketchup. I decided to make 2 design changes to the original pattern. I...
  5. 1922 Toy Racing Car

    The 1922 book, Advanced Toy Making for Schools by David M. Mitchell, has many design patterns for children's toys. This book is about the equipment needed to teach a boy's woodworking shop class in 1922. At the end of the book are many patterns for the class to make items. One of these...
  6. 1922 Toy Racing Car

    I thought I had made enough of these 1922 race cars for Christmas 2015 family gifts…..and I posted these cars on previous posts: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/130729 http://lumberjocks.com/projects/140690 But everyone who has seen them, absolutely loves them. I ended up giving a blue car...
  7. One last batch of 1922 cars for Christmas gifts

    I made some of these earlier in the year, and decided I needed to make 5 more for Christmas 2015 gifts to family members. These are based on plans given in a 1922 shop class textbook. Since this is the 3rd batch of cars I have made, I have developed some jigs and methods to speed up making...
  8. 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...
  9. Hand Tools
    Christmas came really early this year. I have been building out my shop since buying a new house and told my dad I'm interested in learning more about how to really use hand tools. So yesterday, he showed up at my house with a drawer full of tools I'd never seen - tools he had from when he was...
  10. Woodcarving
    Hi again gang, I have a solid walnut case I'm building and I need to inlay WM into the lid. Making it even more simple I will put the "W" on top of the "M" making it look like a design. But I am lost as to how to cut this into the center of the lid. I have cut border inlays before on my table...
