Using wood, you can make anything using wood because wood is easy to get, easy to transform and the price is not expensive. In this Instructables, I will show you how to make a simple wooden toys. I will made a Radar Tower toys, and the best things of this toys is the antenna of the toys is can working and rotating.

For make the template, i will make isosceles triangle shape. The up side is 1 inch, and the down side is 3 inch. I draw the template on the wood.

Next, i cut the wooden board using knife and for make the cut is good, i using ruler to help me cut the wood. Made 4 parts of the wooden boards. Next, make all the wooden parts smooth using sand paper.
