I havn't post that much in the past, but I can't resist finally to show some of my toy designs.
This a Kitchen Sink, dollhouse size 4 1/2" long x 1 11/16 x 2" height. It is called Suzy Sink.
The brass nozzle is not easy to make. There is a 1/8 Dia. rod with a interference fit with the 5/16" dia.
brass rod. You have to heat the 5/16 rod to 350+ degree and tapped the smaller rod at an angle.
I made a transparent label on the bottom with my name, type of wood (this one is African Paduct),
and name of the sink. I usually hand sketch a toy, then go to autocad to refine my design and come
up with a dimentions. I originally do not try to pick a size ratio. I just make the size to have a nice look to
the toys. I have made a stove/counter top, eliptical rocking chair, baby cradle (dollhouse), and army tank.
I am currently designing a skid loader (Bobcat) with wooden tires to look like the ones on Earth moving
equipment. I'll will show these toys at a later date.
