Odin's Toy Factory

I make compound-cut (3D) miniature birdhouse Christmas ornaments. This picture is a batch of birds cut from other project leftovers. Many of these birds are cut from 3/4-inch stock, and then I resaw them to the proper thickness.

      After each use, I remove the nozzle and drop it into mineral spirits. I keep several in the jar, and if I have an issue, I swap nozzles. I use 3M 77, but this should work with anything as long as you choose the appropriate solvent. I retrieve the nozzle with hemostats and dry the excess with a bit of paper towel to use a nozzle. Occasionally I will have a tiny bit of mineral spirits come out of the nozzle the first time I press it, but it is not enough to make a difference. I've never had a nozzle on the 3M 77 clog, but it does tend to build up on the nozzle and affect the spray pattern.

Handmade Wood Dragon Finished Version Dragons https://www.etsy.com/shop/odinstoyfactory?search_query=dragons The dragons appear easy to build on the surface. However, getting all the parts aligned and glued into place is a challenge. I struggled with this for a while, trying to find a reliable way to mount the legs and get them all to align so the dragon sits flat and does not rock. I contacted the pattern designer for help and soon discovered that he does not make test builds on his designs. I was on my own.   Handmade Wood Dragon Parts Before Sanding   The first thing I do is cut all the parts and sand everything smooth, repairing any minor imperfections I find. I do all the sanding before assembly. It would be challenging to sand a dragon after assembly.   Handmade Wood Dragon Gluing On The First Leg  First, I glue one leg in place, being very careful to get it aligned as near to perfect as I can. Positioning this leg is critical because everything will index off this leg.

 I have made a lot of these toy monster trucks. After watching my grandson try to push a toy car with small wheels across the carpet, I originally got the idea. I had made larger ones for him that he played with, but his hands were too small to handle them well. I looked at the size wheels I had and picked out some that would work. The standard 3/4-inch think pickup body would not do, so I doubled the thickness to 1-1/2-inch. It worked great, and my grandson loved the truck. I have since made a lot of Play Pal monster trucks. Not everyone likes them, but the kids do, and I have had people purchase as many as four in different widths and colors.
