Pricey, but probably worth it
By T.M. Reader
I began my quest for a simple pounding peg bench, so that my grandson could relive the enjoyment I recall from one of my favorite childhood toys. To my disappointment, all I could find was relative junk . . . made of pressed wood/resin and even using rubber o-rings for resistance that actually provided almost none. Hammers that fell apart. Pegs that would fall all the way through with merely a tap of the finger (perhaps in the spirit of non-violence, we wouldn't want the child to actually have to HAMMER the pegs??). Not to mention the current concerns over leaded paint in toys.Fortunately, I located this Charlie's Workshop pounding peg toy. Expensive (about $80.00 w/ shipping), but seems to be a fair purchase. I received it by UPS Ground within a week of ordering. Old-world handcrafted quality. Non-toxic materials and sturdy enough to use as a wheel chock for a truck. The bench and pegs are almost twice the dimensions of the similar toy that used to be so commonly sold. Nice hardwood finish. Nicely resistance-fitted pegs that actually have to be hammered through the holes (which is the whole idea).As I said, pricey but a quality toy that can be handed down through generations.

I REMEMBER HAVING SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS WHEN I WAS A KID. AND I LOOKED FOR ONE FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER. LUCKILY, I HAPPENED UPON THIS ONE, WHICH IS HAND MADE IN THE USA. THIS WILL LAST FOR GENERATIONS, AS THE WORKMANSHIP AND WOOD QUALITY ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO ANYTHING ELSE OUT THERE. IT'S TIME TO GET BACK TO BUYING AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS. YOU MAY PAY MORE, BUT WHAT YOU GET IS TERRIFIC, LASTS LONGER AND IS MADE WITH PRIDE RIGHT HERE IN THE GOOD OLE USA!!!!!
