dansnow Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Got the prototype for the shape box finished. 5.5" square, 6.5" high plus a 2" ball/handle. Colors are food dye, finish is clear spray lacquer. In future versions I'll be re-arranging the shapes a little as I unintentionally ended up with a couple thin sections where the top slots in place. Thanks for looking. lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I remember my girls having a ball the the shapes slotted into and they loved it so any toddler would have hours of fun with your shape box. Thats using the old grey matter. Well done. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 A very nice job Dan, that will keep the kids occupied for hours. Much nicer than the plastic c**p and it will last a whole lot longer. Rob Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dansnow Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks for the comments and suggestions folks! Gluing together an updated version now. Swapped out a couple shapes for different ones, eliminated one shape so there are only 2 per side, re-arranged the shapes to eliminate a couple thin sections on the sides, and per suggestion made the shapes from 3/4" stock instead of 1/2". Will post pics when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
