Although the book has a section on health and safety I need to stress the importance of checking that pins and staples are completely removed from your work before use - probably best avoided altogether. Also, in the rush to test out the various projects you may be tempted to put your creations into service before adhesives (don't use water soluable glues) have been allowed to dry properly. Don't risk it, particularly if you are one of those unfortunate people who have sideburns down the inside of your thighs. One of the projects requires a rather large salami and you would be wise to check that it is up to the job as a visit to A & E to recover the missing broken section could prove embarrassing. If you are slightly hesitant or anxious about this particular project, why not try it out on a family pet beforehand? I really do think it's best to be on the safe side here. On a different note, I did wonder if some of the projects (eg crocheted gimp mask) might prove useful fund raisers for the local Womans' Institute or church fair. And finally a word of warning, despite the lovely hand penned illustrations, I don't think this book would make a terribly good mothers' day gift.

There is a wide range of projects in this book, from the reasonably straightforward to those which call for a sizeable degree of skill. I rather struggled with the hydraulic probe, but what an intense burst of satisfaction I experienced on completion! This is a fine selection of designs certainly, but I shall only be giving it four stars. Doreen has grown quite attached to her 'Bastille Battering Ram' and I am being asked to refuel the petrol-driven engine at least once a week! However, personally I believe that natural ways are the best and I soon found myself returning to more traditional methods- a king-sized tub of lard and a rubber glove is more than enough for me!

This book has been a go-to this winter for fun, easy to accomplish craft projects for my daughter Mindy's Brownie Scout Troop. There are 50 individual projects listed so each girl can make at least two items which will certainly come in handy for Mother and Father's Day presents later this spring. As soon as I took the book out of the Amazon box, the girls started to circle round, wide eyed in wonder at all the fun and stimulating projects before them. In fact, they started to scream and cover their eyes! Little girls of that age can be so excitable, can't they? This book has also been a big hit at my son's Cub Scout meetings as well. There is enough to interest boys as well as girls. I highly recommend this craft book!

Even cheaper alternative
I've found an empty cigar tube filled with angry wasps to be a great ice-breaker when meeting ladies from the internet in hotels.
