How to Make a Wooden Baby Toy
HTML-код

- In this video I show you how I made a Hippo Shaped Baby rattle toy. My brand new nephew was born a month ago, and I make this little toy rattle for him to play with out of oak. I used a kid safe finish for this so he could chew on it and it is non-toxic and non-harmful. I really like the way it turned out. Enjoy!

We absolutely love when today's younger generation sees the value in making a toy for their children (or nephew) instead of buying some expensive electronic toys. Great job! Looking forward to the other animals you make.
Thanks so much! It was a fun project to make! I appreciate the kind words. 👍

Beautiful work mate! Thank you!
Hi Mitch, great build! Will make one for my newborn son!!
I saw this Video 2 Years ago and made a rattle, today I built a successful brand of baby toys, I think this has triggered and inspired me, Thanks Brother !
Beautiful, love it !!!!!
My dad made us a wooden train set, wood dinosaurs, ducks and of all the toys we got as kids those are really the only ones I can remember. ❤
Turned out cool, Mitch! It makes a louder rattle sound than I expected.
Thanks Bruce!
Such a simple project and yet so satisfying. Nicely done.
Thank you!
Love it, Mitch! I may have to give this a try for our baby coming in April. Thanks for the great idea! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Congrats man! That is great news. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks.👍
Wow you are so talented Mitch! ♥️
Thank you Sindhya!
Really like how you explain what you're doing. I hope to make one too for an expecting coworker. Great video and great project!
Thanks remarsh!
Expecting my first grandchild, will definitely be making one. Thank You
That was a very cool video. I will try to make some of these for the woodworking club I am in. We do a toy drive every year. Thanks for the video and for the free template.
muy buen videos y bien explicado! un saludo grande!
Love it. Im going to try making this for my baby coming soon
I have just discovered this channel and I am amazed by the depth of skill and attention to detail. I am looking forward to be a regular here.
I appreciate that so much. Thanks for checking out the channel! I'm going to check yours out as well.
This baby toy is awsome Mitch! the tip in the end with the finisher is great. you can not use any finisher when kids will play with it. Great video my friend. I loved watching this!
Thanks so much Christofix! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Awww so cute
Hi mitch
Thank you so much for sharing your template 🎉 this hippo started my buisness with making rattles
You did a wonderful job...looks so cute..
Thank you very much Nancy!
Vielen Dank für das Video , echt super 😊
Great video thanks a lot. For babies toys you can also use coconut oil to finish your product 😊
Cool toy! That "Hand Sander" very versatile tool, I have few of them 😄
😂😂 they do for sure!
i got one pair only. Got to talk to my mom.
This is amazing!
Thank you so much!
Nice job and thank you for the template
Thanks Ray P and you're welcome!
1. Great project Mitch. 2. Love that you are doing squats to get on camera. 3. I hate the hole saw... Hate it. Haha. 4. Great work buddy!
Haha thanks man! Gotta get my squats in.😂
Thanks for this video! I definitely have to make such a toy for my son who will be born in April.
Awesome! I am definitely going to be making one of these!
Very cool! Thanks Amber. 👍
Awesome bro
Thank you!
Good job. I think I could actually make this with my limited tools. As you said, "make do with what you have."
Awesome Kevin. That is what I have had to do in many cases is just use what is available. Sometimes it takes a little longer but it works just the same. 👍

Thanks for the video. good job. love watching your content keep it up. - Your fellow YT friend and woodworker.
Thanks so much Philip! I appreciate it.
nice... thank you my friend..
Thank you Sahane!
Thank you for a great video. I just found your channel.
Thanks DIY Nurse! I'm glad you found the channel. Welcome!
thank you
That is so awesome! I’m looking for a dinosaur toy something similar to this. But... it has to be for girls.
Hey Mitch, thanks for this great idea. I tried to download the template but none of the used email addresses seemed to work after submitting the mailchimp form. Would love to get that template. cheers
Amazing finish without using a band saw like most☺ Been wanting to get a jigsaw to cut hardwood toys, haven't had much luck with the coping saw so far. Do you have any tips on using a jigsaw properly or which to grab???? I keep hearing jigsaw not good for hardwood🤷♂️
Hmm... disk sander for home manicures.... What could go wrong? Seriously though, this looks like a perfect idea for my friend's newborn. Nice one!
Nice video. Solvent may not be best choice of word for your finish.
I’m trying this soon. Wouldn’t it help to have the dowel be perpendicular to the wood grain of the body? I think that may add some strength.
Great work! How much time did you spend for it?
Awesome video! I entered my e-mail in the link to the template but have not received anything. Is the template still available?
How thick is the wood you use?
hello, where can you get the drawings for print . please please
What is the thickness of the wood your using please
Do you have a bear rattle template?
Mitch. Love this rattle and want to make one or two for my family. I subscribed and entered my info for a free template download. I have not yet received the link for download. How long does it take to for this to be sent? Thanks again and very nice work
I didn't get it via eMail either, but if you klick on the picture of the rattle with the text "Get your free rattle template", the download of the pdf should start. At least it did for me :)
How thick is the rattle?
Nice Project Mitch! Just curious, do you think mineral oil thats used for cutting boards would work just as good?
Thanks! Yeah I think it would be just fine.
Revived Builds Check out Walrus Oil. It’s an all natural product too, they make a paste thats easy to apply as well.
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Love your stuff. We have the same jigsaw-did you use a different blade than what it originally came with? Trying to find the best blade for tight cuts. Also, any advice on what kind of places to find single hardwood boards like that oak?
🤣
@@tylersmith9868 you might think the question is crazy and stupid, but honestly our Lowe’s doesn’t carry any “fancy” hardwoods that are baby safe so 🤷🏼♀️
I know this is a year old but my local Home Depot sell small hardwood labeled as "hobby wood" Ive been to 4 around my area and all carry walnut, poplar and oak, but some carry maple and birch as well. A tad pricy but for those of us struggling with small workshop we cant buy huge pieces of wood from local lumber yard due to space🥲 Hope this helps!😬
👏👏👏👋👋👋
Where to buy the templates to make wooden toys
Hi. Its a good work. Can you write the name and model of the saw which you started to use in 1:35 ??
Do you think regular wood from lowes or home depot would work and be safe for this?
Hey Cameron! Yes it would be just fine!
I’m having trouble getting the template to send to me. Is the template still current to where you could send it to me? Thanks
Great looking project. Just wanted to throw a warning out there. If the toy is going to be given to a child, one should make sure to be careful with the oil applied.
what thickness dowel did you use? and what size drill bit to drill the holes for it?
The dowel and holes were 1/4".
Can you really do sharp turns with that kind of jigsaw?
Walnut can be toxic, like the idea though.
Is there a way to avoid using glue? How could I fix the pin in place?
The dowel fits snug in the hole without glue, so you might be ok if you make the hole a little deeper and not use glue.
Podria obtener los planos?
template link dead wont open
Hello I liked your video . I would like to make a rattle . I would like a copy of. Your pattern thank you William dell
Can we have the PDF temples please
Poly should be fine after it off-gasses
Could you make a camera rattle
I am sure it can be done. That is a great idea!
@@MadebyMitch Do you sale them?
No I don't currently sell them. There are a lot of different designs on Etsy though.
do you have an instagram account?
Absolutely adorable! And of course, young kids should learn early on that hippos are safe to touch and will never harm them 😁
I wasn’t able to download the template. I tried on my iPad so that may be the problem.
Oh no! That may be the issue. If you dont figure it out, send me an email or Instagram DM and I will get it to you.
i have send my mail on your website but i didn't get the plans of this rattle
Hey Luc. I apologize for that not being sent to you. Send me a message via my website or Instagram with your email, and I will get that template to you.
@@MadebyMitch i have got the plans now. It are nice plans
My husband used these plans from Wood Prix's plans and he's very satisfied.
I really enjoy plans from woodprix.
I couldn't get the template :(
Hey la Abril. Go to the link and click on the picture that says free template download and it should let you download it. If it doesn't work, contact me through my website and I will send it to you.
I got it. Thank you!
Woodprix plans are amazing!
I did it with the Woodglut plans.
I'm pretty sure you can still buy plans with all the details you need on Woodprix.
Talking about non-toxic oils but using glue?..
not every glue is toxic
My adventure with woodworking began with projects from woodglut.
