I added a toy wooden block puzzle and train whistle plans to my plans page. I also redesigned the navigation menu. You'll find both in the Kid's Toys section.

Thanks Tom, I just finished your folding step stool. Great project. I like what you have done with your website and the additional sketchup resources.

Thanks for the kind comments. I'm working on a real cute animated duck push toy right now. When you push him across the floor, his webbed feet flop, his head bobs forward and back, and his bill opens and closes. There's pics on the page of what's coming, the 3D view, and even an animated GIF to show the movements. Only thing I have to finish is the plans.

Plans are completed for the animated Duck Push Toy. This is a cute one... The parts for this one are all irregular shaped so I felt it was better to provide a full-scale pattern to print and cut from rather than dimensions. There's also a small grid on the left and bottom of each pattern page to ensure your print out is actual size. Enjoy...

Hey Tom, I just got my Mark V 2 weeks ago and plan on starting with your block game this week as a gift for my Niece. My ambitious first big project is a dining room table but I think I'll start with some of your plans to get a feel for the tool. Thanks for posting them!

Again, if you're looking for some reason to make sawdust, I just added a nice set of plans for a faithful reproduction of a primitive/colonial candle lantern on my plans page (Misc. section). I've made a number of these. They make a nice country decoration, but are usable too. Enjoy...
