Wow!!! Love it and will definately be after one in the new year if he's still doing them!
You have a very clever hubby!

**nipper** · 02-12-2011, 04:47 PM

Thanks. He reckons he can do them in any size to order and the pegs can be in the form of shapes, letters or numbers. No sharp corners and the screws are all countersunk for safety.

Thats brilliant , what a clever hubby you have. I'd like to get one after Christmas,

just a tiny question .. do they have to be wall mounted or could they be used free standing?

**nipper** · 02-12-2011, 05:57 PM

Mine is wall mounted but I'm not sure if they are too heavy to have free standing, but I will ask him for you. He has a habit of doing the impossible.

Oh wow what a great idea! Going on my Christmas list!

**Playmate** · 02-12-2011, 08:31 PM

We looked at these at the expo to, but were well out of price range there!

**miffy** · 02-12-2011, 09:14 PM

That is great - does he do them for outside too?

**Maza** · 02-12-2011, 09:58 PM

**samb** · 02-12-2011, 10:35 PM

Monkey.....Horsehay/Lightmoor Village

I am 'reliably' informed he can basically do anything...outdoor ones, free-standing (so you don't have to attach it onto the wall), or in any size you want. He might also be able to attach a mirror on it, so the children could see themselves playing. If you want a made-to-measure one he can even do that.

I've packed him off to school this morning with a spring in his step and a whole head load of ideas and he's going to have a play in his lunch-time and see what he can come up with.

**PRINCESSDAISYFLOWER** · 05-12-2011, 12:08 PM

if he can do a free standing one i would definatly be interested

Sounds very promising! I like the sound of all the options!

Wow, I am amazed by everyone's comments and the response has been huge. My husband was in work at the crack of dawn this morning and has modified the design and will place updated photographs on ebay over the weekend. In answer to everyone's questions he can do pretty much anything you want!!! All he asks is that if anyone wants one before Christmas, please let him know before his end of term (December 15th). Any further questions, please ask him directly through ebay.
