This is a follow up to the previous Toy Plans posting.
We've been creating portrait patterns by request for a while. There are usually very good reasons to ask for the pattern - marriage, anniversary, retirement, an injury, a death, etc.
Someone noted that toy patterns are expensive. I agree and also think they are overly complicated. I suggest we try something like the portrait patterns but for toys. If someone has a good idea for a toy and will post a request for a design, or create their own design to share with the community, we could build a portfolio of unique toy plans that are shared freely. There might be great reasons (charities, new grandkids, etc.) but in this case the idea for a toy will be reason enough.
To kick it off, I remember as a kid having a wooden workbench with holes, a mallet, and a bunch of dowels that you could pound into the holes; we played with it for hours at a time.
I request any patterns for toy wooden tools, workbench, and toolbox. There might be pliers, hammer, saw, screwdriver, wrench, whatever a little guy or girl would like to use to play workshop (without hurting themselves). A workbench that held the tools and/or a toolbox would also be great. No need to be complicated - simpler is better. We'll leave the professional designers to make the complex designs.
Those interested, please feel free to jump in. Those others, please keep your wet blankets to yourself.
