Holding a piece of plastic just can't compete with a block of wood on a very basic level.<br /><br />I wonder if anyone has done a study of the unit block concept...<br /><br />John - Thanks! I'm sure he will too. In fact, it's been hard holding out on giving them to him early.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-1336986625900287292010-03-04T19:34:04.675-09:002010-03-04T19:34:04.675-09:00Wow I love the blocks.

They were unit blocks, too, so everything was a multiple of 7/8". Somehow, I guess, that got stuck in my head as the ideal unit. It was probably due to economics at the factory more than anything else; that's what a surfaced 4/4 board boils down to most easily.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to making any for my nieces and nephews yet.Brianhttp://www.galoototron.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-49205496603853195712010-03-04T06:23:44.846-09:002010-03-04T06:23:44.846-09:00Michael - Thanks!

He already loves Legos - but I think there is something special about wooden blocks.<br /><br />Your blog is looking great - I'm envious of your shop!<br /><br />Bob - That's one of the cool surprises about blogging for me. I've always wanted to keep journals, but it never seems to happen. Then all of a sudden here it is, without me realizing it. Weird. Thanks for reminding me about that!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-71407558442241140782010-03-04T05:38:17.309-09:002010-03-04T05:38:17.309-09:00Dan...Your son will love this project when it'...Dan...Your son will love this project when it's completed.

And building block towers with two-year-olds is really rewarding, maybe even more rewarding than building the blocks and the box ..<br /><br />I like the block dimensions - <br /><br /><br />cheers,<br /><br />MichaelMichaelhttp://handtoolwoodworking.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
