Now that, my 2 year old son would love! Do you have a link to a plan, or any construction suggestions? My 8 year old and I can make that for the 2 year old…it should do double duty by entertaining him and driving my wife nuts!

for variety, (and practice), you could turn some square and trianglular pegs in addition to the round ones. ;)

I would kill ya if you gave my kids anything they could beat on to make more noise … on that note, looks like a great project to make for nephews and nieces … who ever said the world’s fair didn’t live in my world … lol … thanks for sharing … looks like they turned out great!

oscorner cool toy. Looks like the mallet would have looked better hanging in your shop for some woodworking(?).

Mot, here’s the link to the plans: http://www.ibiblio.org/twa/plans/plans/bang-a-peg-toy.pdf. You can make several with one 1×6x8 board and one 1” dowel. Note: you will need a 15/16” paddle bit for the peg holes!

You are really into making things kids can do damage with, aren’t you? LOL!

Great idea.

Charlie, I was somewhat apprehensive about the oak headed hammers. I could just see the sheet rock walls full of holes and other breakables shattered, but I remember having one and we never hit anything besides the pegs, so I figured it would be o.k. I always advice parents to supervise their children when playing with it.

looks fun…I may have to agree with Lip on this…maybe best for nieces and nephews…or I could take it to school and use it on my high school students…its the end of the year and that hammer is looking useful…and the pegs are looking familiar…JUST KIDDING…I love my students…BTW…NICE LOOKING SMITHY….still looking nightly on ebay and craigslist…

that’s funny Matt. I’ll share that with my daughter (high school teacher who is getting frustrated at this time of the year).
