This year our family plans to take the kids to Lego Land. To continue to reinforce good behavior and
some responsibility for this trip, I made them banks. They are shaped as Lego bricks and made from
scrap wood. I purposely did not put a
noticeable plug to get the money out.
The bottom is not glued in, but the joints are tight enough it is very difficult
to take them off. The kids loved them
and they are excited to put money in them.
I did make parts for 6 of them. The other three will have coin bank plugs and
the paint will be a little nicer. I will
be selling them when they are complete.
I think they came out well for a weekend project. I would probably use poplar dowels for the
pegs instead of oak if I make more.
