I had to cut close to 100 individual boards measuring between 4' and 5 1/2".


My template created using my Kapex and it's trenching feature.


A view of my router table. I was adding a 45 degree chamfer to each notch.


Soooo many boards


Soooo much sanding

Well done 

Kids will never forget that house 

That's a lot of parts!  That looks like sanding purgatory... lol
Agreed on the nice router table setup.

This Christmas I agreed to finally build my girls the loft beds I kept promising... man, that was a lot more work than anticipated.
And they aren't quite done.
I just have to remember how excited the kids get about stuff and that's enough reward to keep working.

I have to go to the outer reaches of my extended family to find a member the right age for that...but I think I'm going to! Love that project. I have to build a set for my grand-niece, just so I can play with them.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I saw the title of the thread and thought "Hey I built some of those a few years ago". I didn't realize this was my thread until I opened the replies.

That was a great Christmas! My boys loved their builder boards and spent hours and hours playing with them. I even brought them to my youngest son's kindergarten class at the end of last year for the kids to play with. They are growing out of the builder boards now and my wife is trying to talk me into donating them to the school.

If you have a young one in your life that would like something like this, I highly recommend this project. They grow out of it quickly but will definitely enjoy building their own houses and forts.
