Description
If your children have been around tools and seen their parents work with real tools, they typically aren't satisfied to use the plastic pretend play version for very long. As a family that is frequently tackling home improvement projects and renovations, this was the case in our home, so we purchased this for our son who was six. He was excited about the possibilities and started turning out small wood crafts immediately. The Playmat is made in Austria and functions as four different woodworking tools: a woodturning lathe, a jigsaw, a drill press and a sanding machine. No matter the configuration that you are using it in, the design is childproof with no accessible sharp edges. Designed to work best on thin plywood, balsa wood and soft wood, there are some limitations to what you can use. With the capability of four different tools, however, a wide array of projects are possible, from Christmas ornaments, small toys, doll furniture, and an endless array of wood crafts. The set includes: machine bed, tailstock, drive unit, drill, drilling and sanding table, tool rest, 12V safety adaptor, screw driver, detailed instructions and some wood for turning and sawing.
