What Are You Doing Right Now

I'm thinking about making some infant toys out of wood. I've got a few tools, and it would be good use of time (and a money saver).
Better than purchasing all of this plastic crap.

@DustinB3403 Except when they throw it at you, wood hurts

Yeah. . . well that's a part of the job. Plus them throwing things develops their muscles.
-
@DustinB3403 Very true
-
She's just a bit over 4 months old, and we have some plastic teething toy rings and a bouncy chair that makes music and a few other knick-knack toys.
But she's going to need more sooner than later and I would love to spend the time making something she'll use and play with.
-
I am even considering making a doll-house for her to play with as looking at purchasing one from Amazon etc is way to damn expensive.
It's plywood and wall paper. I wouldn't mind purchasing the furnishings though. But come on, $100 for a plastic house that is gonna get tossed in maybe a year?
-
@DustinB3403 Thats really a good idea and I think she would enjoy having something from you more than plastic stuff. I forgot you had a girl, my apologies, I think boys in general throw things more. Mine are bad about that.
-
@jmoore no need to apologize.
-
@DustinB3403 I bet she would love a doll house and that one from amazon probably wouldn't last too long. Something you made though should last for many years and I think she would treasure it
-
Granted, she won't be able to use/play with it for years so I'd have to store it. But at least if I plan it out and get everything ready to go.
Worse case she never uses it.
-
@DustinB3403 True, but I bet she will. Its a good idea and worthwhile making something yourself.
-
In doing some research on this, making a doll-house really isn't difficult. A board of MDF and the tools I already have.
The finishing (wall paper and paint) would be the most difficult.
-
Which of course, she'd get to pick the wall paper.
I'd just paint the entire house with a coat of white.
-
merging two g suite user accounts. Thought this would go much faster.

Getting ready to leave for the day to go pick up my kiddo from school and drop him off at his Moms house.

If you have a decent size backyard, building a playhouse for her would be a nice project.

Did you start drinking at noon? Building a playhouse . . .

So this just happened.

@scottalanmiller homeless person hiding in your attic?
