I have just bought your amazing book on animated wooden toys and am having a great time making them do you have another with the birds I cant find anymore

[@FuzBrain]

I'm saving up money for my first set of whittling knives, and this sort of stuff is my end goal

[@michaelromash3448]

where do you suggest putting pull cord on Happy Hound?

[@mariaweller4661]

Is there anyway to find out when his bird book Things with Wings will be available

[@keithdu66]

Great Job!!! Does anyone remember the name of the wooden shoulder or man that would climb down your leg like a slinky? It’s really old from the 40s or 50s, and it went head over to tail down your leg?

Nice

[@lindsayhahn6632]

I can"t find the answers to the questions asked by David Lopez (1 year ago) & Michel Romash (7 months ago): on the Happy Hound pattern, the pattern for the wheels shows them to be 1 3/4" but the Materials List shows them to be 2 1/4"; and also - where do you put the pull cord (still Happy Hound)? Thank you for your help!

Lindsay, That plan was not published by Woodworker's Journal, as such, we don't have any information about the plan or any corrections that need to be made to them. Please contact the publisher Fox Chapel Publishing: foxchapelpublishing.com/contacts/.

Nice work. I love to see other people building mechanics into their wood toys. I invite you to check out my bulldozer model video. Just search for S.G. Devries on KZbin to find it. Let me know what you think!
