Nuts & Bolt Game

Wow, very clever! I think I will borrow your idea for one of my own.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Borrow away, Kelly!
I think it would entertain kids for at least a few miles in the car :-)

Did you make the thread yourself?

What a great project for everyone. Well done, it should get alot of use no doubt. What kind of paint did you use? As I’m sure they will make it to the little ones mouths one time or another. What a neat toy!

Marty, This is a great project. It’s very creative and, as always, your chip carving looks perfect.

Ingenious to say the least! Great project! Will you share what letters are on which nut/face with us? thanks for sharing a great little project!

What kind of paint did you use? As I’m sure they will make it to the little ones mouths one time or another.

With this in mind, I chose a standard acrylic paint and did not apply any finish on top of the paint. Teeth marks are welcome!

Did you make the thread yourself?

Yes, I used my Beall wood threader that cuts the threads with a router and includes a heavy duty tap.

Will you share what letters are on which nut/face with us?

Sure, here are the letters found on each nut…
EQLGV
TPFYD
AJCIX
OHMWS
NKUBR

I left the Z out but you could add it to one of the nuts if you wish.

There are a lot of good projects submitted for the Inner Child Contest.
I entered this Nuts & Bolt Game and would appreciate your vote.
This was a fun contest. Thanks, LJ.
And thanks everyone for your encouraging replies!

Thanks! Think I’ll put the Z on with TPF group since none of those letters would ever precede or follow Z (well almost never, I’m sure someone will find a word that is the exception)! Again, great project and thanks for sharing!

I think this project will be headed for the Top Three today!
