Old fashioned Video Game (Super Mario Bros)

As a fellow Super Mario Bros. player, I approve :). It must have taken a lot of work to get all that shaped and painted. Now I want to see some intarsia Mario scenes with the natural wood colors making up the segments.

what a great way to show your love
and play too

these are whimsical
and fun

thank you

What an awesome concept! It looks great, I bet they will have a lot of fun with that for a good while.

Blocks with high interest appeal! Great idea. Blocks are so much better than video games! :)

This is just awesome! This is the most creative wood project I have seen. You did a fantastic job on the painting and detail. You should send some pics of this into Neintendo magazine if they still make it.

WOW – this is fascinating! All the details in painting are well done, and make this whole project really shine.

awesome – what a fun toy and a great gift.

Aren’t you the one that did the creative take on the construction vehicles, too ??

Amazing ! The kind of great woodworking project that just makes people smile :-)

GREAT paint job!!!

What a great idea mixing the two – old fashion blocks with new comp games.
That will certainly get the boys into thinking mode!
you did a great job on the painting too.

Thanks so much for all of the kind words everyone. :) These have been very popular in our house so far, and we even had to find their own “bin” to keep them in. I’ll probably need to put together a small box too. I am really into the feel of wooden toys, and I think that simple toys bring out the imaginations in our children. Something that we tend to lose in my generation with so much disposable entertainment. This seemed very generation appropriate for my boys, but still keeps it “real”. :) As always, you are all too kind :)

Back to the shop for me!
