hi all,
no idea what to say here, other than hi :D
I'm very keen to make some toys for my son, now 7 months. Just migrated here so very short on tools and things, but now the household stuff is all bought, borrowed and given, I'm starting on the shed. Turning 30 next month and my husband is buying me a drill press. Love him to bits :p
Today we bought some wood, finally, 3mm triplex and a fretsaw, clamps, I'm ready to go! Starting with some wooden inlay puzzles (no idea if they have a special name here) and a map of Australia with animals that you can move around. Oh, and a wooden book on the secret life of three little caterpillars :D S. devours his books, hopefully he won't go through the wood now he's about to get his top teeth.
I also want to make a shape sorter, posted a question on that, a rattle, as he loves anything that makes a noise and one of those round crawling toys.
and maybe some blocks, more puzzles, music toys, boxes, more puzzles (I saw that very neat box with circles that need 47 moves to open, that would be so awesome) and after that I might learn how to do cabinet making and make some cabinets. Anyway, ideas are endless, can't wait to start sawing.
