Romanian Andrei Dudescu stumbled upon the ToymakingPlans.com website when researching wood project plans. Andrei originally built wooden watches and then later discovered his real passion and mission in life was for making wooden toys. Andrei has a very special talent for using color. His color combinations on the toys are stunning!
Andrei shares his latest wood toy ornaments project using the Quick n' Easy Jolly Toy Ornaments Wood Toy Plan Set. His results are beautiful. Also, don't miss Andrei's colorful Commando Mustang toy featured near the bottom of the article.
Andrei sells his wonderful wood toy creations to many American kids because he builds every toy with love. In addition to making wood toy he also enjoys mountain climbing, skiing and photography.

Above: Andrei glues and clamps the Fargo Ponies. Notice that Andrei painted the toys first before gluing. Be sure to keep glued surfaces unpainted for the best adhesion between parts.
