I'm always collecting plans and patterns. I now have thousands - more than I'll ever be able to build. But I keep collecting them because you never know when someone will need a plan that you thought no one would ever want!
Here's a collection of the toys & trivets I made to give to relatives in 2000.
The train pattern came from a train that has been in my wife's family since the late 1940's. We inherited the train and one night I was staring at the mess left by some visitor's kids and said to myself, "I could duplicate that!" So I did and gave the trains to nieces for their children.
Here's a couple of the gifts I made for Christmas 2008:
Dragon - 35" x 12" (design from Wood Magazine - Mr. Wiggles) - For my grandson Sam, age one. I made a dinosaur of similar construction for my oldest grandson when he was one.
