The toy farm set pattern calls for 1/4" thick wood. You can change that up and use what you have. You may need to modify the pattern a bit but that can be done on the fly at the saw. You can make this set as large as you like by simply cutting more animals.
I always like to research the topic of the patterns I design. It makes it interesting for me and hopefully for you also. I watched a few farming videos and one thing is clear. It is a difficult way to make a living but most farmers love what they do. Even when times are extremely challenging they fight like crazy to keep the farms running. It is not always possible but they don't go away without a fight.
The video below documents dairy farmers in Wisconsin. The last few years have been really tough for many family-owned dairy farms. The video is about an hour long but the stories are both sad and inspiring. If you have a little time watch the video and support your local farmers when possible.
