Welcome to the MakeItyourselfToys website!

We apologize for the inconvenience but our site is still under construction.

You will soon be able to download eBooks for just $2 each, with pictures, plans, drawings, and detailed instructions on how to build the neatest toys YOU and your kids will ever play with!

In 28 years of marriage to my wonderful wife, we have raised three boys and three girls.  Over the years, I have created some four dozen original homemade toys.   So many other fathers wanted me to share the building plans with them for their kids, that I decided to start this website.

One of these is a toy squirt gun like that which became a multi-million dollar best seller called the "Super-Soaker®."   I have a date stamped video of my kids playing with the prototypes made from PVC plastic plumbing pipe in 1986, years before it was in the toy stores.

The next year I modified the squirt gun so it also shoots foam bullets (made by a simple tubular knife) and something like my design was later marketed as the Nerf® foam-rubber bullet gun.  Then I found a way to modify it again to accurately shoot rubber bands, and it is now a "three-in-one" toy gun that can be built by just about any dad (or mom?) for just a few dollars worth of parts available from hardware stores like Home Depot or Lowe's.

Other eBooks available include plans to make an old bicycle frame and a pair of skiis (water or snow) into an exciting downhill snow bike, a 55-gallon plastic drum into a toboggan, several homemade musical instruments, an unbelievable but simple kite, miniature flying gliders made from plastic drinking straws and 2 other materials available for just pennies, an entire military naval fleet of quickly-built, large-scale wooden model ships that really float, a six-room A-frame dollhouse (in just 1 hour!!!), real working, giant scale, sailboats, an aircraft carrier that can really launch F-14 and F-18 homemade gliders, the neatest water and air powered rockets made from all different size plastic soda-pop bottles, and a paper airplane design with which every customer will get a chance to be included in helping us set a new PERMANENT Guinness Book Of World Record.

This design promises to become the new STANDARD for folded paper-airplanes.  You can now build a paper-plane that will fly PERFECTLY the first time and EVERY time you fold it.  No Tweaking necessary!  We have made a movie of it being launched from the balcony of our church and flying all the way down to the pulpit.  (The movie will be available on the finished website.)  Long, straight and slow flight - I Promise !!!!  In the eBook, I have illustrated my six essential secrets of both folding and flying with over 30 photos, and we intend to translate this book into many different languages.  There is even one tweak we show you, that lets you make it do a loop!  We also show a way of building it to fly great even on a windy day outside!

This design came about of eight years of "on-purpose" spare time development including the purchasing of every paper airplane book available and the folding of thousands of experimental prototypes.

This website is the result of my youngest son teaching himself how to do what you see here just since November 26^th, so PLEASE check back weekly as he will be adding the additional website tools A.S.A.P. to let customers order the eBooks, and see pictures and movies of the toys for which we will be selling the plans.

(No actual completed toys will be offered for sale, unless some very rich customers want to make us ridiculous offers for us to build them.)

Initially we will be using Pay-Pal, but eventually we plan to have the ability to take both Visa and Master credit cards in payment for our eBooks.  We will NOT be keeping a database of customer names and their credit card numbers because of identity theft and liability issues.  All credit card transactions will be set up so that they use 128 bit (or greater) encryption and SSL security certification.  All payment transactions will be made across the high security internet link to my bank and not to my computer.

When customers first enter their names when signing onto our (finished) website, they need only enter some individualistic nickname of their own choosing and their eMail address for our records of what they have ordered.
Entering city, state and country will be optional.  Because of the low cost of each item offered for sale, at this time we probably will not have an email response option for questions, etc.
