    Default Where are all the toys makers

    Hi every one
    I have been watching and have subscribed to a thread started by Chipman on toy making in the woodwork pics, section of our forum there seems to be a fair interest in this part of the woodworking area. Do you think it would be possible to have a dedicated section maybe in, woodwork general sub sec wooden toys and models. Its a real passion of mine and maybe quite a few other people as well, there must be a lot of people with kids and grandkids and for that matter charity organisations that may be helped in a section like that. I do not know whats involved in doing this and it may not be practical to do so anyway, I have put it out there so what do you think
    Regards colbra Col

    Default Toymakers need a place too!

    I agree with Colbra,

    Toymakers need a place to put their stuff rather than where it is in woodwork pics.


    Regards,

    Chipman

    Hi Chipman
    Yes we could end up with a dairy farm, when all we want to do is grow some corn
    my analogy of something in the wrong place (also the biggest word this week)
    Regards colbra

    Thanks for putting the forum idea up front Colbra
    and thanks Neil for doing it!

    I just wonder why we toy makers have taken so long to get this done...must be because we are a quiet unassuming lot
