Odin's Toy Factory

    My Itty Bitty Animal Collection I crafted a wooden toy kitten using my shop's traditional woodworking tools and techniques. This little feline is designed to stand independently, making it perfect for stacking with other toys from my Itty Bitty Animal Collection. These aren't just any toys; they're generational pieces that can last for many years. The first ones I made over forty years ago are still in use, and a second generation of children now enjoys them. Small kids love playing with them. The kitten measures about 2.5 inches, but I can create additional sizes by custom order. It's a versatile piece that can be painted, stained, or left unfinished, depending on your preference. It could also make stacking toys, mobiles, or even puppets. If you're looking for a durable and charming toy, this wooden kitten might be just what you need.    

  My Shop In this creative project, mini gnomes are crafted from leftover wood pieces typically discarded as designer kindling. This experiment showcases the potential of repurposing scrap materials that remain after making puzzles and other intricate designs. With an abundance of these wooden remnants, producing these charming gnomes proved to be practical. To aid in the process, spring clamps from Harbor Freight Tools are utilized. I have about 200 of these handy clamps; they provide the perfect clamping support for assembling the gnomes. This project transforms waste into delightful gnomes.
