I'm thinking about building some sort of toy box for my 15 month old son, and was considering making a model barn with the roof opening up to put the stuff in. I was thinking of making it somewhat realistic - wooden peg construction is what I call it (I'm new to this). Any tips on a project like this? Tools to use and techniques? I'm new to this - we have a few old barns around our place, but I didn't have anything to do with their construction smile I'm just looking to do something a little out of the ordinary, and yet still remain practical. I also teach industrial arts, and thought this would be a neat project to work on with some of my students when they have the time.

Thanks!
