Adidat, - yes, I know what you mean. I enjoy a challenge too. Roger

John; Mark,- and everyone else,- Thank you kindly for the compliments. ** John,- Have other Wooden Toys too such as Farm Tractors with working loader buckets, and some realistic implements such as a field mower, side-delivery rake and a hay-baler, along with Semi-trailers, ( I think you call...

Hi Adidat, Thank you for the link. I can see what you mean by you wishing you could own one. Your description of a, " Shed on tracks," is accurate too, as that's just what it looks like !! Going by the photos it shouldn't be too difficult to make one as a Model-Toy, complete with tracks, as...

Shultzy,- Yes I do have shetchup here,- BUT find the program so downright boring, and so long-winded, that after about 15 minutes I, of trying to figure out, " How ? " I simply give up and and walk away. Actually have more enjoyment designing my Work Plans by hand on my large desk, than using...

Shultzy, If I get your information right, ( correct me IF I am wrong ), I can draw up any size plan using Sketchup, then print it off in whatever size I require. Like for instance, I have a project here for our local Military Museum that requires me to draw up a 1:15 scale of a Tank Carrier in...

Al, & next poster down, ( this is getting bad when I can't remember a name ) I can see what you are getting at. Also really appreciate your suggestions. Yes, I do know the the vast majority of Woodworkers are good, decent and honest folk, although you always get the occasional, "Cowboy, " - but...

Al, Thank you for the information !!! With computer stuff I can do the basics, but for anything that looks complicated, me and computers just don't mix !!! Even getting photos looking decent takes me ages, so simply hand them onto a good friend who is retired and enjoys, " editing photos, &...

Aditat,- Thankyou for the compliment. *** Antique Victorian Excavator ? What does one of them look like ? I enjoy a design challenge,- that's why I asked. Currently designing some new Toy Plans based on real aircraft, such as the Cessna Twin-engine commuter planes, Robinson, & Bell...

" Gunna make em in opposition to me. " Get plenty of, " Gunnadoits ", but that as far as they ever seem to get;- had one visitor here about two years ago,- Everything was, " too dear, " even my Work Plans, then he said to me, ( in front of my next door neighbour who was with me at the time), "...

Now that I have figured out how to do it, ( don't laugh ),- every forum site worldwide is different !!! Now going to add a Modern Farm Tractor, complete with working Front-Loader, and tipping trailer, designed during 2010. Being a rural area, I sell heaps of the actual wooden toys here in this...

Not sure as to how many photos I can successfully add, as it is the first time I am having ago at adding photos of some of my wooden toys, although one is more like a Wooden model than a child's toy. First two photos are of a Mobile Crane,- complete with telescopic boom, which actually works,-...

I already sell the actual wooden toys, & wood Craft Designs here in my own region without any problems, it's just that international visitors from places like the UK & Europe, etc are the ones who have problems as for them it is easier to buy the Work plan, and take it back home to make, then (...

Graham,- Yes,- know what you mean with the risk factor involved with the Publication License,- which also brings other factors into play, for example the bulk purchase price I place on the complete set of Work Plans, as am well aware of the depressed state & general business mindset with trying...

Here's a bit more detailed information which I think will help;- As forementioned all my Work Plans are are drawn actual size, - but, not on Large A1 size Plan sheets,- Here's how I lay them out,- I draw them onto A3 Size paper, and each sheet is marked along the edges where the next section...

Firstly I do not wish to step on anyone's toes, ( or even jump on them ! ). Here in Australia I am a Wooden Toy, & Wood Crafts designer, and have my own range of work plans which I advertise on other sites such as Gumtree; EasySell, etc. I quite often receive enquiries from the UK, & Europe, but...
