This video shows a beginner's woodworking project using scrap wood to make toys for my son. I make a car out of oak and a truck out of walnut scraps. Making toys for my son is always satisfying. The best part of the video is near then end when I surprise my son with the new toys. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making these toys.
I use an old Sprunger scroll saw, my Mastercraft drill press and my Dewalt orbital sander. For finish I use Honey Bee's wood conditioner, which is a mix of mineral oil and bees wax, available at my local hardwood supplier, KJP Select Hardwoods, in Ottawa, Ontario.

Yay! Into the projects... and at least 3 different beers. Excellent. That reaction from the little fella was priceless!

@TheGrantAlexander 4 года назад

Thanks, He still loves the little truck over a year later (the car on the other hand doesn't get as much love)

I would’ve been so sad if you did not share his reaction!! 😂 soooo cute. And the cars are perfect! Thanks for sharing because I’ve been searching how to make a simple wooden axle like this. Thanks!

@TheGrantAlexander 5 месяцев назад

The reaction is 100 percent why I do this. I love to see the smiles ♥️♥️

Good job dad!

@TheGrantAlexander 3 года назад

Thanks ☺️ if you want to see an update, i actually remade this video and added some footage of my son playing with the toys now that he had grown up a bit ☺️ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nlpn540NOPw.html

Right to the mouth, glad you used the natural bees wood cream, good call! Awesome build for your little man, you’ll have to make him a DIY tic tac toe board soon. 👍🏼

@TheGrantAlexander 3 года назад

Thanks! He still plays with these simple cars to this day ☺️ good idea on the tic tac toe game

@Poor_Mans_DIY 5 лет назад

Absolutely awesome! Brings back memories of the types of toys we had when I was young. Great way to teach children they dont have to have the newest electronic toys. You adorable son is lucky to have a father like you! Keep up the great work.

@TheGrantAlexander 5 лет назад

Thanks, I appreciate the kind comments. I hope he learns that lesson, it is one of the goals of making him toys :)

@TurningsbyTurner 4 года назад

I forgot all my comments after see you son get the cars. That was a great ending!

@TheGrantAlexander 4 года назад

Thanks! He still loves these cars over 1 year later, so that is a testament to the simple toys are the best toys mentality. I might have to make him some more as I really want to re-shoot this video as my style has changed so much in a year!

@TurningsbyTurner 4 года назад

@@TheGrantAlexander It very normal to have the channel improve/change etc. over time. I still frustrated with mine...bad lighting, then good lighting but it looks like a spotlight etc etc. lol

Hi Grant, I like this one as well. Take care. Cheers, Huw

@TheGrantAlexander 3 года назад

Thanks Huw! I appreciate you watching both of the videos. I actually find it hard to watch this one these days because my taste has changed that much. I am hoping that my son will ask to watch the new version from now on so I don't have to watch this one anymore, lol!

@TheGrantAlexander 5 лет назад

Thanks! It's been a month or so and my son still plays with them so I think it was time well spent. I am sure your son will love them too!

@randomroze9699 3 года назад

Love this! They are so cute! Suggestion: When you speed up your work, you could maybe add some faint background music... Just a suggestion! Your videos are great either way!😊

@TheGrantAlexander 3 года назад

Thanks! I actually remade this video because I have changed my editing so much since this was released. You can see the new version here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nlpn540NOPw.html

@Becky61636 4 года назад

Those were awesome, does he still play with them? I have a granson do anytime and I’m looking forward to making him some. Thank you for the vid.

@TheGrantAlexander 4 года назад

He does! I actually am in the process of redoing the video as I really enjoy this project but I have "improved" in my video making. In the new video in hoping to catch him playing with them candidly 😁

@harpella 5 лет назад

Awesome man! Loving your stuff! Only constructive crit I would throw out is during your fast forward sections. Cut the video audio out then maybe dub over those time periods if you feel you have educational and/or entertaining things to say? Just a thought but love it all either way.

@TheGrantAlexander 5 лет назад

Sometimes I like the sounds of fast tools! Next time I will try to add something educational :)

@existesters4002 4 года назад

Great video thank you for sharing. I do have one question what was the thickness of the wood that you used. Many thanks. Paul.

@TheGrantAlexander 4 года назад

Thanks for watching and commenting, happy to answer your question! The wood was bought rough from a lumber yard at 4/4 (i.e. one inch) and I took as little as possible off. It ended up being around 7/8" for the ash and closer to 1" for the cherry. Thanks again for watching 👍🍻

@TheGrantAlexander 4 года назад

I was thinking about your comment and if your question is about how thick the frame would sit off the wall, then the answer to that is 1.5"
