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, 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, &...

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...
