Can anyone tell me a good source
for making the old style simple wooden games? I'm looking for something
that can be made out of all the scrap wood lying around.
Checkers.
If you had added details on what you're looking for, you would
probably have gotten more details. So, checkers.

If you can read this you're in range.

How about; puzzles for assembly/disassembly, bolt tricks, and the kind
of things our grandfathers and their fathers played with? Even jigsaw
puzzles are fun to make once you get the knack of it, but I've lost any
plans I had ;-[

Don't ask me, I didn't ask, I'VE got imagination for using MY
leftover wood. It's the other guy. He didn't even say how big his
scraps are. And you don' need no steenkin' plans for jigsaw puzzles - a
picture on plywood and cut jigsaw puzzle shapes..

Those are great idea's. The plan link was great, it gave me lots of
idea's.
My new years resolution is to make a ton of simple toys for the church
and
local orphans. It's not as if I don't have the materials lying around.

That was NOT me, shouldn't have stuck me in there.
Chess sets, checker sets, checkerboards. Very simple, any age can
use them.

Don't have a web site for any, but my step daughter got me a book for
Christmas "Crafting Wood Logic Puzzles" by Charlie Self with Tom Lensch. It
has form very simple to some complicated ones.

You might try http://www.drillbitsplus.com/free_woodworking_plans.html
They have a number of free plans listed for games, some of the links
are broken, but most appear to work.
