    Activity board for infants

    Activity board for infants-image.jpg
    Hoping to get parental approval for this! (Not my parents, you understand, but my son’s and his partner’s)
    The grandchild is too young yet to play with this, but I did not know how long it would take, two and one half days, plus another day to put away the considerable number of storage items I got out. e.g., of all the bronze and steel bushes I have, I may have used 2. Screws: 6 types.
    I expect you have seen this sort of thing, but I hope it might be of interest to HMT browsers, since it’s all stuff most of us have in our workshops.
    Grandmother has been fulsome in her encouragement.
    I don’t think.
    “You’ve got it too crowded!” and “What’s that TICKING noise?”

    That's a nice build. Well done. Also it reminds me of something:

    Philip: A wonderful idea, and it must be big fun to 'develop' it. In a 2nd version I would arrange it panorama-like with a certain/variable height - increasing the ergonomics. And I would consider which element would 'work' better on a horizontal plane. I imagine that subtle sound effects - like the ticking - would be very welcome. A medieval rattle mechanism, 'bells and whistles'.

    Once you start pushing all of a woman's buttons it is already too late to just say yes dear and move on.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    "already too late to just say sorry dear, and get out of range...".
    In worse scenarios, get out of range first, then phone apology in.
