"Some of the Toys that customers have made using our plans and patterns"

 

Phillip   Just wanted to pass along pictures of my rendition of "Pull Along Toy" dog. It was comparitively easy to complete and should last a lifetime. My granddaughter will certainly enjoy it. Congratulations on producing such good plans. I will visit your web site from time to time to see what other interesting toys my grandaughter might enjoy. GJ USA

 

Hi Phillip   These are the photos of completed toys that I constructed from your plans. They turned out rather good. Plans were easy to follow. Well Done. PM AUS

Hi Phillip   Not sure if you got the photos of the wheelbarrow we made out of spotted gum, so I'm sending them again.   Our grandson loves the 'barrow', and it gets used a lot in the backyard. A very practical toy for a toddler. Thanks for the great plans and we're looking forward to building the dumptruck and front loader next.   Hoping to see the 'barrow' displayed in your gallery.   JG Aus

 

Dear Phillip, Please find attached some photos ( of the plane ) for possible inclusion in your gallery. I enjoyed making the plane and found your plans and instructions very accurate / helpful. As I have only limited tools ( no lathe or router ) I decided to make the plane out of 19mm ply. It's not the easiest to work with but with a bit of patience and a lot of sandpaper a reasonable result can be achieved, you be the judge of it. G.B.

 

First of all thank you for the wonderful plans. Really enjoyed making it. I have attached a couple of pictures of my version. It is USAAC version in honour of my new grandson who was born in the United States.   J.H. CAN

Attached is a picture of the completed bi-plane I made with your plans for my grandson. I used oak for the undercarriage and seat as the pine I had seemed too soft. Everything worked out well and I had fun doing it. I found a neat site for the custom decals, lettering and ensignia. www.bandegraphix.com. A.F.  U.S.A.

From www.woodworkforums.com Okay. Unlike some others in this thread I won't be shy about posting some photos. I bought the Model T Ford plan set from Phil at the Maleny Wood Show and had to admit to him that I had still not made those I'd bought the plans for at the Hands On Expo. So here you are Phil. I've partly met your challenge. The Dump Truck is complete and as you can see at least one person is happy with the result. B. AUS

From "Star" a gold member at the www.woodworkforums.com I'm chuffed, as I'm not really experienced, but I am sure the 4 year old grandson will love it. P. AUS

Thank you for the prompt service of my recent purchase of the bi-plane plans. The plans exceeded my expectations. The markings and outlines were nothing short of perfect. I have included pictures. I enjoyed it so much I built 2. Thanks again and I will order more plans down the road. J.S.  USA

Here is a picture of my son at his first birthday. His grandfather made him this plane from your plans. He loves it and so do we! A.D.   USA

Hi, Phillip, Photo of the completed bi-plane. I made it out of different woods, iroko, oak and pine. The body is stained pine. I didn't make the rocker base, as I recently made a small rocking horse. Bi-plane came out well, mainly due to your plans. Regards P.L. UK

HELLO, My son asked me in September if I would build a doll house from your plans. Of course, I said "Yes" and I actually wound up building two ( one for each of my oldest granddaughters). I'll build one for my youngest granddaughter when she's older. The girls got their houses for Christmas and they've been quite a "hit" with them!! I thought I'd send a few pictures and let you use them as you see fit. Your plans are easy to follow and they produce beautiful toys. My wife helped paint and decorate the interiors . J.S. USA

Phillip, I really liked your bi-plane plans and templates. There was not one miss-cut piece of wood and the project came out just like the picture. I attached the end result. I hope it lives up to your expectations! I will become a regular as long as the grandchildren are small. Then I will have to wait for great grandchildren! Thanks, B.A. USA

Hi Phillip Here's my version of the bi-plane rocker for your gallery. It's painted blue/white as our grandson Harry's father is an Everton football club supporter! Brilliant fun making it. The plans were easy to follow thanks. I made up tracing paper templates. I couldn't get 12 inch pine here in Guernsey, so had to use American oak for the body. Makes it somewhat heavier but more solid. In case you're interested the body has 3 coats of Danish oil and the pine 3 coats of Antique Pine satin varnish. I did find the seat a little small ,so expanded it and adjusted the tailplane height. I had trouble bevelling the prop, so simply routered it. Roll on the next project! Not sure yet but thinking of a motorcycle rocker. Any plans for that? (I'll check your website). Best regards C.M. UK

Received plans, thank you, your plans are excellent because I have been buying plans from all over Australia for 20 years and none of them display the patterns like yours, thanks I will send a photo when finished. I will have a look at all your other plans and might order some more. D.F.  AUS

Hello from Whitianga N.Z., We have received great admiration of the rocking bi-plane that we decided to build a second one which we have donated to our local cancer support group for them to raffle as part of their fundraising. I will forward a CD in the next few days with several photos that can be used for your gallery if you wish. The dump truck and loader look good, in particular the loader. Might have be a new year project. Keep up the good work. J.T. NZ

Thought I would attach a couple of pics of the Rocker - Plane. I'm sure my grandson will enjoy it this Christmas. - Great pattern! P.H. USA
