Re: some toys
Very nice Fred, so amongst your other talents you are a gunsmith and knifemaker It is encouraging to see that I am not the only "Christmas project procrastinator"

Re: some toys
Wow, a bunch of Lugers! They look awesome! I used to have toy one as a kid, but it was metal. Looked way too realistic, would be confiscated these days. You could put a roll of gunpowder-on-paper in it, and it would make a decent bang.

these loogers were fashioned after thr real deal. the prototype even has a mag release and a safety!  I have the real one locked away that grand dad brought home from the war. It's an interesting piece of history. these are just for fun! cant wait to see 5 kids all locked and loaded preparing for battle.

Thanks Scott! My vocabulary is still missing quite a few words. Some things you have to learn as a kid because they never seem to come up later in life.

Re: some toys
Fred, great job - I see the other one lurking there in the back - what kind of woods did you use on them

Re: some toys
Those are very cool. I can see that as a project for my son in a few years.

Re: some toys
Those are awesome Fred! Couldn't even imagine trying to make a gun or a knife out of wood.  Glad you got them all done, but what are you making to make up for the last two years?
