About

'Tis the season to make a wonderful wooden toy for that special girl or boy.  At this month's general woodshop meeting, Doug Mackey will discuss wooden toy design, materials and manufacturing.

Mackey is founder and owner of Just Think Toys. For 15 years, he worked as a consultant to Plan Toys, a Thai company that is one of the world's leading wood toy manufacturers. The Plan Toys dollhouse shown in the picture was developed with his input, which focused on enhancing play value by simplifying the design and giving kids access from all sides.

These monthly meetings of BARN's Woodworking & Small Boatbuilding Studio are free and open to all. They always feature an informative presentation on some aspect of this craft, plus a short business meeting. It's a good opportunity to meet other woodworkers of all skill levels, learn what's new in the shop, and share your thoughts on class offerings and shop operations.

This month's meeting will be downstairs, in the shop.
