beccas1963 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 That sure is a neat lincoln log cabin. Great detail! Bec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 That's a charming roombox, and clever use of lincoln logs. I loved those as a kid. There used to be something called "american bricks", too -- plastic bricks that interlocked. I could build with them for hours.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 as a kid I loved lincoln logs and legos. I was in heaven when playing with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJEP Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 What a neat roombox!! Thanks for sharing. I never had Lincoln logs but had Legos and played with them for hours and hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 as a kid I loved lincoln logs and legos. I was in heaven when playing with these. DS#3 still collects Legos as an adult and builds sci-fi manned battle 'droids with them, as well as the bases, transport vehicles, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonsaikathy Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 My kids loved, lincoln logs, tinker toys and blocks of all sorts. Thanks for sharing, that was really wonderful. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah handley Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I, too, played with Lincoln logs and I do remember American bricks. My favorites. Loved them. Played for hours. I'm glad Legos came along in time for my grandkids. We own 1000 Legos and build lots of things. I guess that means I have been building for 60 yrs?? Ouch!!!! (I didn't really say that.)

Hallowell Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 I still have a weakness for legos. If I go to a friends home and the kids have legos I'm right on the floor with the kids building something. :lol: My old roommate a few years ago was collecting the Lego kits and he was well into his 20's. :lol: We should never grow up.

Color Me Holly Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 That is a great room box. I didn't have store bought Lincoln Logs. My grandpa made a huge set for my dad and they were passed from kid to kid. I think my youngest nephew has them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks for the link! I looked at all of her room boxes and am awed by her talent, especially the intricate carvings and ability to create her "real" possessions in miniature.

Ok, well I fake being mature and grown-up when I have to....y'know, like when I am at work, but once the work is done, back to my cute and cuddly young self!

I think that is just great. :music_band: It was one of the bestest toys ever! I play with then up until Grandma moved out of her house. My Grandpa(dad's dad) was a carpenter. He also built us kids a two story play house with a balcony. My oldest sister lives in the house Grandpa built for Grandma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tams Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 This is a beautiful roombox. I've often wondered about using Lincoln logs for a cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
