- This video shows a beginner's woodworking project using scrap wood to make toys for my son. I make a car out of oak and a truck out of walnut scraps. Making toys for my son is always satisfying. The best part of the video is near then end when I surprise my son with the new toys. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making these toys.
I use an old Sprunger scroll saw, my Mastercraft drill press and my Dewalt orbital sander. For finish I use Honey Bee's wood conditioner, which is a mix of mineral oil and bees wax, available at my local hardwood supplier, KJP Select Hardwoods, in Ottawa, Ontario.

For those just interested in seeing my son's reaction, feel free to skip to 7:59. Enjoy!

Nice!
Thanks!
Yay! Into the projects... and at least 3 different beers. Excellent. That reaction from the little fella was priceless!
Thanks, He still loves the little truck over a year later (the car on the other hand doesn't get as much love)
I would’ve been so sad if you did not share his reaction!! 😂 soooo cute. And the cars are perfect! Thanks for sharing because I’ve been searching how to make a simple wooden axle like this. Thanks!
The reaction is 100 percent why I do this. I love to see the smiles ♥️♥️
Absolutely awesome! Brings back memories of the types of toys we had when I was young. Great way to teach children they dont have to have the newest electronic toys. You adorable son is lucky to have a father like you! Keep up the great work.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind comments. I hope he learns that lesson, it is one of the goals of making him toys :)
@@TheGrantAlexander Looking forward to watching your other videos as well
Good job dad!
Thanks ☺️ if you want to see an update, i actually remade this video and added some footage of my son playing with the toys now that he had grown up a bit ☺️czcams.com/video/nlpn540NOPw/video.html
Awesome cars awesome kid
Thanks! He is pretty awesome
very very beautiful! You are an awsome dad!
Thanks!
Right to the mouth, glad you used the natural bees wood cream, good call! Awesome build for your little man, you’ll have to make him a DIY tic tac toe board soon. 👍🏼
Thanks! He still plays with these simple cars to this day ☺️ good idea on the tic tac toe game
I have a particular soft spot for projects for kids. Great job! It looks like you’ve got a future shop buddy too!
Thanks! I hope he will be interested in the shop as that would make me so happy 😁 thanks for watching 👍🍻
Cute baby and cool project. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks so much ☺️
Cool cars, I like the way kids react to what you make them, thanks for sharing
Thanks! It is fun to see them react 😁
Thank you. Cars for the grand daughter coming up. No gender bias here. Cheers from Australia!
Nice! I'm sure she will love the cars. I hope you make her some Holdens 😁
Love this! They are so cute! Suggestion: When you speed up your work, you could maybe add some faint background music... Just a suggestion! Your videos are great either way!😊
Thanks! I actually remade this video because I have changed my editing so much since this was released. You can see the new version here czcams.com/video/nlpn540NOPw/video.html
i have to make a version of these for my boy. love it
Thanks! It's been a month or so and my son still plays with them so I think it was time well spent. I am sure your son will love them too!
Very Nice 👍
Thank you 😊
No way i skipping ahead!! Love your channel
Thanks! I am glad you are enjoying it.
I forgot all my comments after see you son get the cars. That was a great ending!
Thanks! He still loves these cars over 1 year later, so that is a testament to the simple toys are the best toys mentality. I might have to make him some more as I really want to re-shoot this video as my style has changed so much in a year!
@@TheGrantAlexander It very normal to have the channel improve/change etc. over time. I still frustrated with mine...bad lighting, then good lighting but it looks like a spotlight etc etc. lol
@@TurningsbyTurner very true!
The Grant Alexander 👍
I wish you had tracing patterns for the truck bodies.🎉
Those were awesome, does he still play with them? I have a granson do anytime and I’m looking forward to making him some. Thank you for the vid.
He does! I actually am in the process of redoing the video as I really enjoy this project but I have "improved" in my video making. In the new video in hoping to catch him playing with them candidly 😁
Hi Grant, I like this one as well. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Huw! I appreciate you watching both of the videos. I actually find it hard to watch this one these days because my taste has changed that much. I am hoping that my son will ask to watch the new version from now on so I don't have to watch this one anymore, lol!
@@TheGrantAlexander Hi Grant, I recently watched my first video again and wondered how it has had that many views. LOL. Take care Grant. Cheers, Huw
@@WoodenItBeNice i feel the same way about this one 🤣
❤❤❤
Thanks
Awesome man! Loving your stuff! Only constructive crit I would throw out is during your fast forward sections. Cut the video audio out then maybe dub over those time periods if you feel you have educational and/or entertaining things to say? Just a thought but love it all either way.
Sometimes I like the sounds of fast tools! Next time I will try to add something educational :)
Great video thank you for sharing. I do have one question what was the thickness of the wood that you used. Many thanks. Paul.
Thanks for watching and commenting, happy to answer your question! The wood was bought rough from a lumber yard at 4/4 (i.e. one inch) and I took as little as possible off. It ended up being around 7/8" for the ash and closer to 1" for the cherry. Thanks again for watching 👍🍻
I was thinking about your comment and if your question is about how thick the frame would sit off the wall, then the answer to that is 1.5"
