The newspaper article this year brought a new person who wanted to volunteer on helping make toys. But, he has a full time job and is not retired so he wanted to do it at his home in nights and weekends. So it was agreed that he would help up make our Lincoln Log Cabin toy.

This week my completed projects were actually done at work. I am working on organizing the office and cleaning up some clutter.

Here is what I came up with.. The desktop is mdf and the support system is 2×3 lumber.

The article The Pictures Thanks Karson  Post and Panel Construction System #1: What Is It?The Post and Panel System started with the desire to let my son build cool castles out of blocks.
