A toy to keep fingers busy

Things like this are always good for children to play with. I’m still trying to figure out how children go through 12 years of school without learning how to read a tape measure, but it does happen all of the time.

Great little busy hands toy. I am still trying to figure out the wood threading bit, one of these days, maybe.
Thanks for sharing.

Do you have any instructions to go with that?

Instructions Mike ? ;-)

Find a wood screw box and taps would be the first one ?

That actualy I haven’t seen in a while, mine came from Busy Bee and they’ve discontinued them..

Just a little humor Glen. I do in fact have two sets, one is 1” and the other is 2”. I would think most woodworker supply retailers would have them. I forgot to mention it in my comments above, but toys like this can fascinate children and there is a real danger that this could lead them to become woodworkers in the future,lol.

Well it’s certainly got the little one’s attention at my place ! Who’d a thought an afternoon’s playing about testing the system would be such a hit !
