For my son's 5th birthday, he had a truck party and asked me to draw him a dumptruck so he could play pin the worker man in the truck.

Shelves. Loads and loads of shelves. Freestanding, wall-mounted, small, large... You want shelves, I'm your man. I always sketch it out on paper with a pencil, go and buy the wood and screws, then build it. I once used a plumb-line and an album-cover right-angle when my spirit level couldn't be found. That was probably the best.

A kicker for a skateboards(a mini one for those little finger skateboards, about maybe 5 inches high, 10 inches long). I made it out of grinded up chalk and water. It worked pretty well, I put some of that varnish on it, that clear stuff that you put on clay or stuff so it won't crack. I also made a lot of other skateboard stuff, I made a grinding rail out of these metal pipes inside of pens(that go over the actual plastic ink pipe), stuff like that.

Maybe the dress and jewelry (no pattern, instructions, kit) I made for my Mom's antique doll, a 30-inch J.D. Kestner. The dress was teal velvet with side panniers, and I made a tiara and a necklace out of very small pearl beads on fine wire. I beaded the neck and cuffs too.

1. Some computer games. 2. An analogue - digital and digital - analogue converter ( 8 bits, 8000 samples per second ) for my old computer (back in the days when they weren't built in). Not sure if it really 'counts' because the AD was on a chip, the DA was on a chip, I obviously had pin diagrams for the chips and the expansion socket on my computer but by the time I added the addressing ( using discrete addresses, not simplified ) and programming (Z80 machine code) it was quite a big project. It worked but the quality was crap. I'd speak into the microphone, "1 2 3 4 5". I'd play it back and if you didn't know what had been said, you wouldn't know what you were hearing. The analogue side was crap too. For some reason I didn't have stable biasing and the zero point would drift. Most of the time I had only half a wave form. But at least it 'worked'. Just a shame I never got it working good. 3. A two input NAND gate with Schmitt trigger, using eleven transistors (plus other components). Again, a project only its 'mother' could love! Sure I could've used less bits, you can buy the circuit on a chip at approx two dollars per dozen, the design methodology was probably crap, especially when compared to the component count, but I knew what every piece did and why it was there.

A submarine shaped bird house (painted yellow, of course) that was 36" long, 1' in diameter, with the diving planes and conning tower included. It had nesting chambers for four nests which were always filled every summer. I attached a wind driven propeller of stainless steel that set the whole thing off. It lasted for about 7 years before the elements finally did it in. I got lots of fun and laughs out of it and lots of birdies had a good home for many summers.
