Grandson's birthday gifts

Project by phillip posted 26 days ago 485 views 3 times favorited 18 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I have been looking at others projects here for some time. I just joined, this is my first post. I have been working with wood on and off for several years. I had not been doing much until my grandson was born. Building something for him gave me incentive to get back into woodworking. I built the rocking motorcycle for his first birthday. It is made of walnut and clear pine. The pirate ship playset was for his second birthday. It is all cedar. The ship is about 16 feet long.

I guess I missed the fact it was a ship even cooler than I thought very neat. Todds eyes are better and so is his gray matter.

Doing for others is a great inspiration to work off. Those are fantastic examples of your true feelings for the ones you love.
Great job on those…........................
