re: No such thing as scrap wood, Just offcuts awaiting a project

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for the kind words of encouragement. 
With a small work space in a small shed toymaking is the best, other makers send their offcuts my way though I’m pretty sure I’ll be something like 100 before I get to use it all. 
Toymaking has a double reward, first the project build then knowing and sometimes seeing the child playing with a toy that’ll last.
