what kid under 3 years old wouldn't love something like this? inspired by my sister, i'm in the process of putting my white oak scraps to good use, in making not one, but two 80 piece sets of building blocks. pics to come....
 
ok, here come the pics. got all of the block blanks ripped to width yesterday, and cut all of the 4 and 6 inch posts too. today, marked all of the blanks, and planed them to smooth. tomorrow, cutting to lengths and angles.
