You can quickly and easily get started using simple tools miter box and saw Get stared with just a hand saw and ‘mitt box plus a hand dell wih 3 and 7/6" dil bits and eacy to ind supp, Setting Up a Basic Toymaker Shop All you need to get started are basic hand tools. Begin with just a hand saw and miter box plus a hand drill with 3/8" and 7/16" dril bits. Standard lumber yard wood, wood dowels, woodworker's adhesive (glue), sandpaper and paint complete the lst. If you want to go into production and build a large umber of toys for profit, a small table saw, band saw or scroll Saw works great. Add to that a small drill press or electric hand drill and you have all the power tools you need to get your business started. ‘You can set up a basie production power shop with a low cost band saw and alow cost drill press. An inexpensive table saw or scroll saw will work just as well. We often purchase our tools off tha internet. Our favorite sites are lowes.com and homedepot.com. tow cost band sam low cost dtl If your workspace is limited you can arrange a temporary selup to make several toys on the kitchen table. Itis a 00d idea to keep a vacuum cleaner handy to pick up the sawdust as you work. The cuts are small and do not create a lot of waste material and vacuuming sawdust as you build insures a clean, professionally built toy, ~aa- and readily available materials. 6" it hand at & 786" ai bt woodworkers ahesive standard lumber yard wood Gathering Materials and Supplies Home Depot or Lowes or any Home Improvement Cen- ter will have everything you need to get into production, You'll need glue, sandpaper and wood for starters. The body and chassis of each toy are best constructed from the lighter woods like spruce, white pine and poplar. Wheels, hubcaps and axles are made from standard hardwood dowels. The edges of the wheels are rounded by hand using 100 grit sandpaper. Each of the toys is painted with non-toxic water based acrylic latex enamels. Walmart and other paint suppliers usually ave a selection of bright acrylic latex enamel colors in half-pint to quart size containers. The smallest containers of paint will coat several toys. NON-TOXIC Water based acre latex 2 paintbrush from Home DepotTransferring Dimensions of the Toy Plan Onto the Wood — The toy plans in this book are complete and detailed with full size drawings for every part of every toy shown. Each of the parts is made from dimensional lumber, The lumber thickness called out for each part is available at lumber suppliers or can be easily cut with your saw. Lumber is commonly available in 1/2", 9/4" and 1-1/2" thicknesses. All the toys in the book are designed around these dimensions. A standard 10’ measuring tape works great for wansfer- ring the dimensions from the toy plan onto the waod stock. A standard 12" ruler also works well. A lead pencil can be used to prevent staining and dont ing the wood when marking dimensions. Cutting Parts to Size Each partis shaped with straight cuts only. This method creates the unique blocky style of the toys. It also makes it easy to produce several toys quickly. Follow all manufacturer's satety rules that are pack- ‘aged with the saw, dil and all to's. Please reviow the Operator's Manual otten as a reminder to practice sate and responsible crating Gluing Parts Into Assemblies A thin layer of woodworker’s glue is applied to each part. The gluing surtace of each part to be glued together must be covered evenly with glue. Press the parts to- gether tightly. Set the assembly aside until the glue has dried. Sanding Parts to Shape ‘The edges of each tay are rounded for a finished look and for safety. It also prevents splintering while minimiz~ {ng the damage if tne toy is thrown or dropped. Wheel edges are also best when rounded. Edges are rounded by folding a sheet of 100 grit sandpaper into a small pad and sanding each edge vigorously for the desired roundness. If beveled edges are preferred wrap the sandpaper around a small flat piece of wood. -bb- Applying Final Touches to the Toy Alter the parts are glued together and the glue is dry lightly apply one coat of paint to the assembly as a primer. Prime the wheel and hubcap assemblies separately from the toy body. Do not paint the axles. Keep paint out of the axle holes in the toy bodies and ut of the holes in the wheels that receive the axles by inserting a scrap of axle dowel in each hole. Re- move the scrap dowels after painting the wheels. The first coat of paint will appear a little rough or spotty because the moisture trom the paint causes the grain of the wood to swell. First make sure the paint is thoroughly dry then sand the first coat with 200 grt sandpaper until the part is smooth. Do not sand the painted toy down to the bare wood. Apply at least 2 more coats of paint for a pro- fessional finish. Sand each coat except the final coat. Bringing It All Together Place a drop of glue into a wheel hole and insert the unpainted axle firmly into the hole. Insert the axle and wheel assemblies into the axle holes in the toy body. Place a drop of giue into the opposite wheel and then press the wheel firmly onto the axle. Repeat for each axle hole in the toy body. The toy is now finished and ready tor play, With a little planning you can make several wood toy cars and trucks in a few hours. And by using common lumber to keep your costs low you can build the entire sei and stay within your budget. Now let’s get started! (©2009 Jobn W.
