MYRTLEFORD local Barry Holden has shown his woodwork skills at the Myrtleford Men’s Shed by making a toy sink, stove and oven from scrap pine and laminex for his grandchildren.
“It's a unit that allows kids to practice cooking skills and having game play around the kitchen, but it can be outside,” he said.
Mr Holden was inspired to make it after his 3-year-old granddaughter saw one.
“She said to her mum, ‘can I have one of those?’,” he said.
“So mum got in contact with me and I thought well, I'll build one.”

The system even has a tank behind the sink to provide running water, and numbered oven knobs.
He said making the unit was very cheap, using scrap wood and $20 worth of paint.
