More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This author has invented his own unique toy system: six basic types (Boats, Trucks, Houses, Planes, Road Vehicles & Ships) each of which have a number of easily interchangeable components that give children (and adults!) endless assembly possibilities, much like Lego or a wooden version of Meccano. At the same time, the components are finished to a high degree, so that the assembled toys look realistic, much like Brio train sets. Clever and beautiful toys: use six basic toy systems to make and endless number of different toys; Clear instructions, step-by-step measured plans and colour photographs. Unique: there is no other toy-making book like this one on the market. Market: woodworkers with children, grandchildren, nephews & nieces. Top author: is a retired industrial designer and toy maker. His previous book Making Heirloom Toys (Taunton 1996; 1-56158-112-7) has sold 24,000 copies.

Great book for mid-range woodworkers,
By Iddgit - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marvellous Transforming Toys: With Complete Instructions and Plans (Paperback)
The author has come up with a great set of toy sets: boats, trucks, planes, and houses. Each set has interchangable parts which kids can put together to create their own masterpieces.Author assumes ownership of basic tools, drillpress, table saw, bandsaw, and in some cases a lathe comes in handy. I have all but the lathe and am having a lot of fun (and challenges) working my way through the sets. Note that not all of the above tools are required, but since he helps you create jigs to recreate your work, the advantage is to people who have them. Some complex angles, tapers and cuts, but with patience all can be made either by hand or with standard hand tools (tough), or with stationary tools. Probably the drill press (or a good way to bore exact repeatable holes) is the most critical in getting great results. 0 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
