First of my work

This is where we don't want anything but evidence of your finest wood butchering in all its glorious, and photograph laden glory. Bring your finished products or WIP's, we love them all, so long as there's pictures, and plenty of 'em!

First of my work

Ah I remember a lot of these. Was it you who made, or refurbed, an old kids ride on Bi-Plane?

I saved that thread to do for my lad but it got lost when the original site went. :(

Yeah if I ever get round to it, or can get hold of the original thread…

It was fairly simple by the look of it.

Thank you. The motorbike rocker is now on its second rider as the first has lent it to his little brother he still will not let it go as he keeps saying "grandad made that" His mum says that they will never sell it.

Lovely work - we've still got toys I made for my daughters and still being used by the next generation 40yrs on.
They last much longer than the modern plastic stuff?

Great looking toys, I must keep this post away from my girls. I have a feeling they would be wanting a horse each, who could blame them it looks fantastic!
Nice work cheers Peter
