The beginning.

I first started making toys out of wood many years ago even though I had no wooden toy plans. My elder sister had gone through a divorce and was living back at home with two young children and not  much cash. Christmas was coming and the boys wanted a toy garage.

After looking in all the toy shops it soon became obvious that what was available was either very small and not to put too fine a point on it, rubbish, or far too expensive. Even the most expensive items did not seem very well made and were probably not built to last and that was almost 50 years ago! Today with planned obsolesence I imagine finding lasting quality will be even harder.

Anyway to make a long story short we decided to try and make a garage out of wood. We had some scraps and bought a few odds and ends and by using our imagination we managed to put together a large 2 story garage with parking on the roof and ramps that were just great for rolling toy cars down.

Without plans it was not easy but the result was very good and it produced something rather better than the high end toys we had seen in the shops and all for less than we could have bought the cheapest toy garage in the shops.

Needless to say the Christmas present was a great hit and lasted for many years and now 50 years later it has inspired me to start this website. If you have ever thought of making wooden toys I assure you that you will find it a very rewarding passtime in many ways.

Now it is easier as it is possible to obtain plans for toys and many other woodworking projects – so don’t hesitate get started right away.
