Michael is a treasure. He makes handmade toys of a quality you cannot find anymore, and frankly, I'm not sure you could find toys this nice in the past either. My son has played with one of Michael's trucks for years, and I am still noticing little whimsical details I never noticed before. I really hope people will support and appreciate this craftsman, his toys will last for generations.

Loved visiting this shop and buying special wooden toys for the grandkids. Michael is a friendly, cool guy who has a big variety of all kinds of unique toys

Seems like it might be a cool store, but the place was locked up during the business hours listed online, and no one answered the phone. Wish I could visit. :(

Michael is a genuine craftsman, very knowledgeable about the items he creates and the wood from which his creations are made. We're very happy with the piece we bought from him.

Pretty sure we just walked into Santas toy shop! The craftsmanship is just incredible, you don't see toys made like these anymore!

This is one of Rutland's best kept secrets. Actually, one of Vermont's best kept secrets!!! A craftsman whose crafts are disappearing. His items are well made and will bring happiness to every child. We bought few of Michael's custom made riding toys and will continue buying as long as he continues making them! Our grandchildren and their children will continue enjoying the personalized moose, the unicorn, the train...

Love this store. Bought my daughter a cradle from him 10 years ago and it's still as beautiful as the day I bought it!

A really cool experience to walk in and see him working on toys and signs. I called in with questions once and he was so nice and polite.

A wonderful shop from a throwback craftsman. Perfect one-of-a-kind gifts that use wood from the region.

This is one of the best shops I have ever been to! It is great fun just to wander around his shop and see all of Michaels interesting creations. Although the name suggests that it is just a toy company, and he certainly makes great toys, he also makes a wide variety of art and signs, which he custom makes. Even if you aren't looking to buy anything, it is certainly worth a trip to his store just to see it and even talk to him, as he's a very nice ad interesting fellow.

Think of Santa Claus but in real life, the toymaker "Michael" is a real artist with a great passion for toys that involve thinking & imagination, without the use of electronics and gadgets. He strives for originality & realism and has a very deep passion for children of all ages!
