My grandfather showed me how to make one when I was just a toddler. This was from a time when money was tight, and many youngsters made their own toy. I can remember mine was the same principle, but was a little different. He used a matchstick for the trailing arm. Instead of a washer, he cut off a section of candle. Rubber band and notches in the spool were the same.
I can also remember making a "switchblade" knife out of popsicle sticks and rubber bands.
What are some other handmade toys you can remember?
