    As much I don't like those yellow push blocks, I have to say, that was very clever ad placement!

    I use that same sorting method for cleaning up the shop. Love the colors! Cause kids aren't into fine finished exotics....

      Every discerning 3 year old should prefer zebrawood over purple.

    • @monkwerks
      @monkwerks Před 9 lety +1

      retsaoter now you're talking: purpleheart, ebony, yellowheart, verawood, and bloodwood. The building blocks for the "real" woodworker's children.

    Funny coincidence, I just cut out a set of blocks for my granddaughter. I was planning a box to hold them, but I like the cart idea. My blocks are un-painted, hard maple. They should see multi-generational use, I hope.

  • @TomsBackyardWorkshop
    @TomsBackyardWorkshop Před 9 lety +1

    When I was a kid I had a little dog cart that I pulled with a rope. It was pretty clever it had legs attached to the wheels that would go up and down and I'm not sure but I think the head even went back and forth. I think one of my relatives made it for me. It would be really cool to see you make one of those.

    I would love to see you try a DIY version of these “Tegu” magnetic wood blocks. They seem straightforward; wood pieces cut open with high power magnets in them then glued back together. I bet it’s more complicated though!

  • @Luiginicon
    @Luiginicon Před 9 lety

    Really cool project, one way to make it more child-safe is to cut away the screws' pointy bit and flatten it instead.

  • @Sebastopolmark
    @Sebastopolmark Před 9 lety

    Nice project Steve. These types of projects almost ALWAYS find a good home and it gives us "novices" some good wood time behind the tools.

    @theparisattic1797 Před 9 lety

    Steve, a table saw and power drill? I would have dovetailed the sides, wheels and blocks left to a natural Danish oil finish. A nice hemp rope to get the parents in a mello mood when putting blocks back in wagon (if you catch my drift).
    Seriously, an awesome project my grand baby will enjoy next year. I love the MICRO JIG lead ins, they are what let's me know you have a sense of humor and know I'm joking.
    THANKS

  • @TomHessVoice
    @TomHessVoice Před 9 lety

    Steve, great project. However you may want to weave a stick to the pull rope as a safety feature to keep it from tangling around a small child's neck. In fact, i think pull toys like that have such a feature mandated to prevent accidents

    • @Sebastopolmark

      Then they would poke their eye out trying to look at what's inside the pull rope.
      Let's stick with a bit of common sense and responsibility.

    • @thesparkyboy5
      @thesparkyboy5 Před 9 lety +1

      You're right chance9050, I was thinking the same thing. A manufacturer could never sell this in a store with that length of rope due to the various laws nowadays. Do I agree with that no. I remember having something very similiar to this as a child with a similiar length of rope. I'm still alive. That's just the reality of the world today.

      I once had a foster son who insisted and sorted his toys the way they were originally packaged from the age of 2.
      To be honest, it always creeped my out a bit. But he turned out right, no ocds or so.

    • @truebluekit

      Isn't he still your foster son, even if he's living on his own now?

    • @CologneCarter
      @CologneCarter Před 9 lety +1

      truebluekit If a foster child is returned to the family like he was, then the foster parents are out of it. It is measure to prevent raising jealousies and having the child being torn between two sets of parents.
      English is my second language, yet I hope you get what I mean.

    • @truebluekit
      @truebluekit Před 9 lety

      CologneCarter I understand what you're saying, though I don't pretend to comprehend the logic.
