2.0 out of 5 stars Health & Safety would have a fit and justifiably so, 28 Dec 2007
By Ecce "Hariolus" (Beckenham, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is not a practical book - maybe if you lived in the Yukon and could get hold of a motor cycle engine you could build the snowmobile (joking but some of the projects are of this heroic measure and potentially dangerous). I am an experienced modeller and woodworker and just smiled as I read it and put it on the shelf. As an historic document it is very interesting. If you want to make things look elsewhere.
