In this video I am covering how I made a wooden Baby rattle with captive rings, that will be a gift for my cousins newborn son. I have wanted to try a project with captive rings for quite some time now, but have not had any real inspiration for a project.

A children's toy is a very enjoyable thing to make, especially when it is the child of a friend or family member. This wooden Rattle is made from Beech, so it should be very hard wearing and will stand up to the abuse it is likely to receive in the hands of a curious infant!

This is my first time making a wooden baby rattle, and my first time cutting captive rings, I thoroughly enjoyed the project, and I hope you enjoy watching it. If you have any question or feedback, please leave a comment on the video and I will reply as soon as possible.
