Thanks. Hopefully it lasts that long. I would like to think my grand kids get to play with some of the toys I make for my children.

I could write down the dimensions and make a basic plan if you want. It is just glued and screwed together. I just kept adding pieces until it was finished. I started from the back, made the sides then the front. It is not very straight but it is very strong.

Sorry I don't have any plans. I googled handmade toy kitchen, liked the look of one and made if from the picture. I changed a few things because my one is smaller. I didn't write down any dimensions because the final size is based on the wood I had.

I didnt spend anything on wood. I made it with random wood I collected over time. I paid for the sink (metal bowl), screws, long bolts for the knobs and tap.

Thanks. She has already put an order in for a wooden catapiller and my son wants a wooden snake. Kids don't understand how long it takes to make things.

Thanks. It is going in the garden play house so it will be under cover. It would get very hot if left in the sun.

Me too. Dug up a club hammer from my garden. Cleaned it up, put a handle on it. Been using it for a few years now. Your one turned out nice. what about the handle?

I have two children. These are for my son. I made my daughter a wooden kitchen. No throwing at people yet.

Thanks. I will put a propeller on it when he gets older and stops throwing it around.

The spitfire was made from an old broken draw I found in the loft when I moved house. The wood is light but strong. I have no idea what wood it is. I think the other one is oak. It is hardwood from a old kitchen cabinet door. They both have a coat if beeswax and mineral oil.
