Some photos of the toys I made when I first started woodworking. Hard maple and walnut were the two most common woods used. But I also used many others often in combinations. For scale the cars and trucks have 2" wheels, 3/4" thick. I've got lots more photos and their were many one offs produced never photographed. 

OOWEE I like those.

ME TOO!!!

Very nice.

very nice work.

Those are super nice. 

Nice, nice, nice!

All are super cool, but I really like the airplanes, helicopter and the Jeep. Awesome!

The trains and the dragster were always the big hits. Lots of the simple trucks sold also in many variations. I had people come back every year and buy whatever was a new design to add to their collections, not for their kids. My designs were for kids, no metal, no sharp corners, very smooth, sturdy for the most part. I included my card with each toy sold, on the back it said guaranteed for life. I only got one back, a broken wheel. It had been used so much the crown on the wheels was worn off. I cleaned, put 4 new wheels on and sent it back to it's owner. Sometimes I would get carried away and make a one off that took way too much time. A circus train, a carrousel with horses that moved up & down as it was turned, puzzles.... Fun but not profitable.

Triple nice!!!

Nice! Lucky kids...those would look really neat displayed on a book case.

Hey... Where is the hocus pocus stick ? It would be neat to

make one of your airplanes into a hocus pocus...
