Jim Shimwell, the evening's demonstrator, gets the demo started after the break |
Jim has been making toys for a long time |
He brought in a wide array of homemade wooden toys |
Some are working toys |
Over the years, toys have evolved into quite elaborate functioning pieces |
They range from the simple, enjoyment only, types to the working puzzle types |
Some of the books Jim brought in to share |
It was a great demo by a true wooden toy afficienado |
