Toy Making Dad

Had a blog reader contact me recently. He saw my French Napoleonic artillery and pointed me to his blog articles on how he makes toy cannons and spoked wheels. Must better stuff than mine, but he appears to be strictly a "build from scratch" type with a much better workbench than mine. Definitely worth a look though!
