We receive letters, videos and emails from customers with comments and pictures of completed plans.  Here are a few:

Thanks for the prompt mailing. These are about the 10th set of plans I have built from Forest Street Designs. They are challenging, but I most like the full size templates and good description of location of parts. I also like the prompt mailing of plans.

The train has won the Arizona State Fair, and the Mohave County Fair. All the projects have won contests easily.  Plus the hearts of my grandchildren. The fire truck is a permanent part of the local fire department and library. The biggest hit was the marble pin-ball machine and other marble projects.

I found out about Forest Street Designs by visiting the crafts museum in Carlsbad, CA.

The train won the Mohave County fair as “Best of Show” The pinball marble game ended up in a collection of pinball machines, and all vehicles were fun to build. Forrest Street Designs are the best, so am anxious to see some more come my way.

“Hi, have just finished my version of the Deusenberg, I bought the plans some years ago from woodcraft and have only just gotten around to it, I normally enjoy making intarsia and model ships, this was a lovely change and enjoyed the way you had set out the plans, they are very good, when I say my version, I mean that I changed it slightly to a convertible, please find enclose pics of the finished product, thought you might like to have a copy as a form of feedback, many thanks for making the plans available, someone must have spent an awful amount of time getting them right, hope you like the pics as much as I do”.  Kind regards, Norman Long

“I would like to thank you for the many hours of enjoyment I have had making many of your projects. I have built all of your trains and fire trucks. The latest is your Wildflower Rocking Horse. I keep checking your web just to make sure I am not missing something. I have a lot of my projects in my office and they get a lot of attention. Again I want to thank you and keep those plans coming”.  B. Cunningham

“I congratulate you on the details and completeness of the plans and I have found that if I follow them exactly, it all goes together very well…….you have a feeling of accomplishment as individual segments are completed. It will be a Christmas gift for my grandson.” L. Drake

“My 13 year old son and I had attended a trade show in Grand Rapids and viewed a completed working model…..The construction process required learning a few new techniques. The tower was built in sections and finished with clear polyurethane as soon as the section was completed….I believe it will be around in the future when grandchildren come to visit.”  L.F.

“I recently finished your Marble Chest. It was fun to build and I must compliment you on your design, instructions and patterns. Great Job. The layout and dimensions were so accurate that I had few problems. I also built my grandson the Marble Tower. The first time he saw it, he played nearly 5 hours straight with it. Great plans and a fine job.”  R. Altier

“I have built the Iron Horse train and enclosed a picture. I am currently building the Ahrens-Fox Fire engine. Building the Iron Horse was great fun.”  G. S.

“I solved the hinge problem by adding a small block of wood below the lid. The project works well and my grandsons were thrilled to get it.”  B. Myhre

“Anyone looking for an interesting, challenging, and fun project, this is it. Many hours can be spent making and assembling this project. It will have you scratching your head at times, but when people watch marbles go
thru the maze, they’ll say that’s amazing. It will be worth the time spent.”  J. Dixon

“Hello!
I’m writing on behalf of my 85 year old father, who just completed the Victorian Dollhouse. I’ve attached pictures. As you can see, he went above and beyond what the plans called for 🙂
It is truly a masterpiece! The recipient is my grand-daughter (his great- granddaughter)…So proud of my Dad! Enjoy!!”  D. Koehn
