@ZackDavisson Absolutely! Will probably put them up around the beginning of November.

October is just around the corner! If fall has you feeling ghosty, check out our current selection of authors known for writing spooky or gothic tales, including Flannery O’Connor, Manly Wade Wellman, Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Mary Shelley.

@LincThorn Thank you!

[SchweizerCraft @SchweizerCraft]

We're working on a big new batch of historical figures, expanding beyond our current author range with lots of new folks.

@AlexandriaSeale We'll put him on the very-long to-do list!

There will also be a working crane on the fort, and some additional mechanisms on the jail door, but Chris won't be able to get the components to make these pieces until businesses can safely reopen. This won't hamper production, though, as those parts can be completed last.

Here's the wooden prototype for our first big wall-mounted playset: THE PIRATE PORT!
Now that we've made sure all the measurements line up, we'll get started on the final painted art!

@BooksTeaNCoffee Planning on it! Probably will be doing them both as figures and as a tree ornament collection. Most likely six figures: Scrooge, Marley, The ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, and Bob Cratchit holding Tim.

We're working on the plans for what might be the first of our wall-mounted playsets, designed to be there when kids want to play but to not take up floor or table space: the Pirate Port, with figures based on historical pirates of the early 1700s. #woodenToys

We're very happy with the test pieces for smaller, double-side, free-standing figures that'll be part of sets and playsets. Here's a Blackbeard to give you an idea of what we're working on!

Early this summer, we'll be making a variety of wooden figure sets available, including a collection of the most famous and interesting pirates of the Spanish Main! Here's a peek at the collection, which will include around thirty figures.

We're working on the prototypes of a set of wooden Landsknecht figures. How do we deal with their 18-foot pikes? Here's a process video!

[SchweizerCraft @SchweizerCraft]

The SchweizerCraft online store is live! We're making available the first of what we hope will be many wooden author figures, just in time for Christmas (and we hope you'll let your lit major friends know)!

Not only have we reached our kickstarter goal, but we've unlocked TWO STRETCH GOAL FIGURES! Next up: Eugenia Ronder, the former lion-tamer of "The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger."
Just one week remaining on the #SherlockHolmes Kickstarter campaign!

(spoke too soon - we're over the halfway point!)

[SchweizerCraft @SchweizerCraft]

We're only THREE DOLLARS from the halfway point! Thanks to everyone who has backed this project so far this morning, and to everyone who has shared the link!
