Many of us grew up playing with wooden toys as children, and some may even have fond memories of the unique smell of wooden toys. But have you ever wondered about the art of creating wooden toys? Today, we'll take a closer look into the world of a toymaker and learn about the process of crafting wooden toy car carriers and cars.

I am a toymaker who creates wooden toy car carriers with three cars in his shop. I have been in the craft for years, building wooden toys using traditional woodworking tools and techniques. My toys are made from high-quality wood, which is durable and long-lasting.

Creating each toy is time consuming and requires skill and precision. I start by selecting the wood used for the toy car carrier and cars and then use traditional woodworking tools, such as a saw, drill, sander, and plane, to shape and mold the wood into the desired shape and size.

Once the toy is shaped, I hand-finish each piece with clear shellac, sealing the wood with a smooth and durable finish. The wheels are coated with multiple layers of nonmarring amber shellac. To add a pop of color, I accent the wheels with metallic sapphire blue acrylic paint on the hubs.

It's essential to note that all materials used in making these toys are non-toxic. I take great care to ensure each toy is free from harmful chemicals.

The finished product is a beautiful, handcrafted wooden toy created with care and attention to detail. Each toy is unique and has its character, making it a special gift for a child or a collector.

In a world where plastic toys dominate the market, the art of creating wooden toys is slowly fading. However, toymakers keep the tradition alive and bring joy to children and adults alike with their handcrafted creations.

So, the next time you come across a wooden toy, take a moment to appreciate the art and craftsmanship that went into creating it. And if you're looking for a unique gift for a child or a collector, consider supporting a local toymaker and investing in a handcrafted wooden toy.

What kind of paint are you using for your Bad Bob's Custom Motors cars?

Image
Bad Bob's Custom Motors I use a variety of paints from various sources. I like the acrylic house paints the best. All of the paints are nontoxic when cured.  I like to use a white primer to seal the wood and make the colors pop. In this case, I am using Zinsser B-I-N shellac based primer.  I prefer to use an airbrush for painting toys but, I have to paint outdoors, and the weather where I live does not cooperate, and I have to wait or use a brush. I used an airbrush for these wooden toy cars. My airbrush is a Badger Anthem 155.  I prefer acrylics over all other paints. They clean up easily, cover well, and are readily available in a vast array of colors. To clean, I flood with water to get rid of the bulk of the paint. The remaining paint is easily removed with ammonia-based cleaners such as window cleaner. I use household$ ammonia to remove dried paint.  I used the following to paint these wooden toy car bodies. Pink - Behr Acrylic House Paint Green - Apple Barrel Gl

Testing Anita's Acrylic Craft Paint

Image
2017-05-08 18.20.48 - Wooden Toy - Play Pal - Trailer - Truck - Orange - Anita's - Acrylic - Craft - Paint I painted these two trailers with Anita's All Purpose Acrylic Craft Paint. I didn't use a primer or sealer coat of any kind. The paint was applied with a brush just as it came from the bottle. This is the first coat of paint. I was quite surprised at how well it covered the wood. The orange paints I have used in the past did not cover well at all.   Usually requiring multiple coats to get to the point where I could not see through it.  It raises the grain a lot but I expected this. Water based finishes of any kind will raise the grain. Etsy Store: http://OdinsToyFactory.com #WoodenToys #WoodToys #WoodenToyTruck #WoodToyTruck #OdinsToyFactory #Handmade
