😂That's what I was feelin!

I might not be the neatest person, but I like to be organized. Out of chaos, order!

Thanks so much for the positive comment! I've also done a video for a P40 WARHAWK, and will likely attempt an A-10 soon. All the best, Mike.

PREACHER, I appreciate those comments. This particular box started as blocks of otherwise useless wood, and I just wanted to do something with them. This is what happens... Bandsaw boxes are fun to make, and the designs are endless. The bandsaw is incredibly useful. Get one, make some boxes. Have fun! -- Mike

Sorry about that. Videos aren't one of my strengths, and sometimes it's hard to film the nit-picky things. Those wheels... I would have had to bleep most of it. I appreciate the comments, and I'll use that to make the next one better.

I look fwd to your next video.

Great hearing from you! The book I have is probably 40 years old, and got me started on wooden toys. It is by Norm Marshall. I always tweak the plans a bit nowadays. On this biplane, I added the scallops to the winds and shaped them a bit more, and I canted the top wing forward just a bit. Otherwise, it is basically the plane in this book. If you like this one, I also did a P-40 WARHAWK. I'm making for an A-10 Thunderbolt, and then... maybe a SPITFIRE. Cheers! Mike

Haha! Cool.. Thanks for subscribing, Brian. I'll try not to disappoint. Upcoming projects... a few more heart boxes, a couple of toy planes (P-40 and an A-10), and probably a few cutting boards. Enjoy!

I'm sorry, but I'm not doing repairs outside of family and friends right now. This is my hobby, not a business.

I had plans that I copied out of a book many years ago, and have been working from a couple of patterns. But, they started with the plans that are the same as these (www.pinterest.com/pin/1127940669165375290/) that I found online. I always change things up a little... and you should too, based on your own style. I cut indents into the trailing edges of the wings, and I staggered the top wing forward a little bit, but otherwise... it's the same as these plans. Best advice, just have fun!

Thank you, Scott. I also enjoy your channel!

I hope so! The rest of the cabinet will be painted, but the top attracts all the attention. :)

Cleva is what I was going for. Thank you, ValenKarr!

I'd definitely try to paint it before assembly. You can probably get an assembled kit, and I'd try to gently get it apart. It makes a neater job. I used the little bottles of acrylic craft paint that they sell almost everywhere, and the top coated with Krylon "Crystal Clear" Acrylic Gloss spray. Let your imagination run wild, good luck, and have FUN!

Terima kasih banyak!

Gina, right now time is the challenge for me! I am considering an Etsy store for some of the smaller projects, and a "Nutcraker Kit" would be a cool thing to offer, but I'm afraid I am quite backed up with other projects at the moment. I have seen "paint-your-own" kits at Michael's (Craft Store) and Hobby Lobby around Christmas time, however.

Dian, thanks! On the video, ClipChamp gave me issues on that video for some reason, specifically the volume. Sorry about that. There were a few things that went wrong. If I could post a photo here, I'd explain... maybe I'll do a quick vid? Anyway, without over-complicating things... the pattern was very thin, so I was being extra cautious (not a bad thing). I was using a push block to hold the piece down at the router table (with the pattern bit riding inside the heart), and I think I must have grazed the opposite side of the spinning bit, it caught the work piece, and tore it into a bunch of pieces. In the end, I'm glad I wasn't gripping the piece with my bare hands. 😮 Stick with me... I'll get this video process sorted out. Thanks! Mike

Thanks for the nice comments! I like to make furniture, but the toys let you be a bit more creative, I think. I have a Shopsmith Mark V that I bought in 1984. It's an awesome machine for a small shop and a budget to match.

Postei algumas fotos com medidas aproximadas em meu canal. Espero que eles sejam úteis. studio.th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_KbUi_lSSSp_o5V7UT58THldKdQ0t-ct/edit Obrigado pelas suas palavras gentis!

Now I need to find a Hobbit. :)

Thank you!

Hello Cyrille! Thank you for the nice compliment. I have quite a few projects underway, and I'm not really set up to sell these, although I would consider putting one on Etsy (maybe you are familiar with the site?) at some point. I'd have to figure out shipping and all that sort of thing, so I haven't pursued this yet. And of course shipping to France is a whole different challenge. If I do, however, my price would be $75 + shipping. They would either be made of Cherry or Walnut.

Good price for the work put into this.

Thanks Larry! I may mount it on the side of the bandsaw, but the bandsaw case is aluminum and plastic, so no magnets here. Maybe 3M strip or something? This is an oddly useful light that I literally paid $1.00 for. I might have to pick up another, but of course, they are $1.25 now... :)

Thank you! With some cherry lumber I got from a friend. :)

Thank you, Tom. I appreciate the note!
