G'day all,
Well, all I can say is I'm glad I put these to bed.
I think I killed of a few brain cells and may have permanently damaged the remaining few.
126 Alphabet carriages for my name trains.
504 wheel
504 axle pegs
126 screw eyes
126 cup hooks
684 holes
180 dowels.

These are a classic case of the good and the bad, a pain in the rear to make, but good money spinners.

Now to clean the shed, roughly, and start on something a bit more interesting.

Enjoy the fruits of my many yawns

Hi John - no need to imagine what you've been counting to go to sleep at night John - axles and wheels! - and I thought cutting and painting tangram puzzles was a pain in the rear!

Great job as usual pal

Wow, John! The first thing which comes to my mind, is "that's a lot of painting (and sanding)!" Nice work, though. They look great, as always.

So watcha gonna make now?

wood-n-things · 09-30-2009, 02:51 AM

Wonderful. They won't last long. I too was wondering how you decide how many of each letter to make.
