Been testing out some children's toys, made a car and truck out of some scrap, and made a alligator that chomps as it gets wheeled around.

Probably going to remake the wheels as there was a bit more tear out then I like

Sketch dump of some old and new toy characters of mine.

Jacklyn, Key, and Mike being characters I made back in 2018 and Bella and Loch being brand new toy characters

Jacklyn-in-the-Box, the energetic and giggly jack-in-the-box always ready for fun and games.

Key, The Wooden soldier who is firm yet soft, especially when he's with his beloved Loch.

Space Robo Mike, the poor lovesick wind up robot, madly in love with Jacklyn but doesn't have the courage to confess to her.

Loch, the Porcelain doll with a broken face (and heart) who is always tough and ready but her broken face tends to get in the way and cause her to fear

and the lovely Bella Rags, the oldest toy of the bunch. This Ragdoll acts as mother hen to the other toys, caring for and supporting them

Spent the morning building a baby rattle on the lathe. It's made of Oak and Cherry, and finished with beeswax. It's quite fun to shake.

Process below

Started by gluing the cherry into the oak blank with some super glue to turn it to the right shape

After turning split off the cherry pieces, then sanded flat.

Then roughly drilled out the interior space, I cleaned it up with some chisels and carving tools but forgot to take a picture. For this one I added some nuts at the rattle, after I thought about it I might make another one with beans or something else edible as a rattle.

Finally finished it with beeswax.

Little brainstorm board for an old dream project.

So my original wood dnd set was 1/16th or 1/8th (I forget) ply woodburnt with patterns and with hand carved characters. Still have my original wizard, wise old man, and rogue, lost my kobold, but walls would just be implied by the shape of sheets

This new set is aiming to be *mostly* formless. Going to have a few big pieces for roofs or quick floors, a small bit of carved furniture, but mostly want 1x1x1 wood blocks in various combos/tetriminos to block things out. After enough blocks are gotten I'll be adding woodburning for bricks/wood/etc, and then some various stains for various materials, but shy from paint or unrealistic stains. I want shades of brown. All monsters will be various 'meeple' shapes, flat, with woodburnt patterns, mostly from dollarstore kids toys that are plentiful here, and humanoids will be woodburnt 'peg doll' style beings, roughly in 35mm scale/sub 2 blocks tall

Also going to have some more general shapes for quick things. have some fences/walls made already using off brand jenga, various preglued shapes, and I'll have some centre piece furniture with various uses. Eventually want to woodburn some of those fences with 'graffiti', mostly to fit into games like 40k

Tried making a wooden dnd set way back in grade 10, but the teacher got pissy about the wheelchair I had after surgery that year and would only let me do book work in shop class, so it never got finished (which I can understand no big power tools. Maybe even no scroll saw. But no hand tools, no chisel or hand saw, no wood burner, no stool or wheelchair only painful crutches post-surgery hunched on a desk, ridiculous, but a rant for another day)

Wood, you can throw it at a wall, dump it in a bucket, it won't break, at worst it cracks and you reglue with sawdust and can barely tell. And it's *aesthetic*. Good dnd stuff. Plus it fits into larp if you want to rp at the rp place XD
