Yes when we were small and money was scarce,my dad made us a game called bagatelle for xmas,,,,it was only made of wood and nails ,but me and my brother thought it was wonderful and played many an hour with it,,,there was a lot of hours and love making the game,he had to do it when we were in bed when he was probably knackered,they worked very long hours in them days,I wonder what today's kids would make of home made toys!,,, ,
