A few forumites enjoyed similar posts in years gone by. Here is what I am up to:
I enjoy building toys for needy children, distributed by the US Marines "Toys for Tots" program. In the past I have made various toys, but lately I have concentrated on biplanes. These are not the cheap "throw away" toys that this charity usually receives, they are hand made from solid oak. For me, the hours spent in my workshop are absolutely the best way to get into the Christmas spirit.
This year I started with only a half squadron, and mistakenly ruined one of them. I'm down to only two toys to donate, but at least it's more than zero.
Photos to follow; without photos it didn't happen. I am not going to touch them until the top coat of varnish dries (tomorrow).
