Our Toys of the Month for January are the Fishing Pole Game and the Chainsaw! Both of these are fairly easy projects to start the year, with primarily cutting and drilling parts based on the drawings provided.

Dowel rod and string will be included in the kits, along with the templates and instructions.  These can be picked up at our January monthly meeting.  See Vince Failla as you enter the Carpenters Union 301 Hall. Or contact Vince for more information at 317-408-7511.

As usual, build 13, keep one for a child or grandchild, and return the other 12 to us at the next monthly meeting.

Our last Toys of the Month before Pick & Pack are two boats, namely the Tug Boat and the Viking Boat.  Both can be shaped using a bandsaw or scroll saw, using the templates provided in the plans.  Wood can include 2"x4" stock or other 3/4" boards you might have in your scrap pile.  Kits include axles, wheels, smokestacks, people and dowels to help finish these fun rolling toys for little hands.

Templates and kits will be available for members to pick up at our November monthly meeting.  See Vince Failla as you enter the Carpenters Union 301 Hall. Or contact Vince for more information at 317-408-7511.

Our Toys of the Month for August are the Yellow Submarine and the Gravity Car. The plans for the Yellow Submarine were submitted by Lee Van Duyn and require work at a band saw to complete. Meanwhile, the Gravity Car was submitted by Jeff McQuitty, sharing the design for a toy he crafted for sale at the Indiana State Fair.

Templates and kits will be available for members to pick up at our August monthly meeting.  See Vince Failla as you enter the Carpenters Union 301 Hall. Or contact Vince for more information at 317-408-7511.

As usual, make 13, keep one for you our a grandchild, and return the other 12 at a future monthly meeting.
