200 of the smaller ones went out in October to the people that do the shoe boxes for Samaritan's Purse. This is a worldwide orgaanization that looks after kids. These go offshore.
The Larger ones will go to several local organizations that look after kids in this area.

Paul, you sure will make a lot of kids smile this Christmas and a long time afterward. You have found away to express the true spirit of Christmas. I hope your Christmas is the best ever.

[Jude Tuliszewski]

Nice work and what a great way to demonstrate the true Christmas sprit, bringing joy to others.

How about a close-up shot of one of those trains. Did you cut the wheels yourself or buy them in bulk. You must look like a one man factory when you are in the shop.

[Jimmy Williams]

Wow. Did you have any elves helping you with all of these toys? Awesome job and all in the true spirit of Christmas.

Want to give my great big THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna make a lot of kids happy, I know you have a great sense of satisfaction also.

[Andrew Schlosser]

That's alot of little pieces to cut out on a bandsaw. Do you template router them, or band saw them?
How about for the paint- spray or brush?

I figure I've got about atleast 50 years of woodworking in me. I'd like to reflect and say I'd donated 10,000 toys or some other large number.

[Dan Barr]

I know i would be happy.

makes me think about when i was a kid and the people who helped us out. i really felt that a "thank you" would never be enough. I would always remember those folks and still do. :)

Very Respectfully,

Daniel Barr
