I have finally completed the couple of wooden toys for my first (and only at the moment) Grandchild and considering my dislike for wood am now able to start working in metal again. The funny thing is though that today the first job I undertook after completing the toys was.......two wooden patterns for the Seal engine! So perhaps my Granddaughter is teaching her Granddad new things! For one so young, she teaches a good lesson!

Perhaps I am thawing to wood? Perhaps though its just habit? Anyway the toys are finished and whilst not proud of the quality hopefully she will enjoy them, safety paint and all!
