Good basic book,

This review is from: 30 Toy Vehicles of Wood (Paperback)
I bought the book and its very good. The designs are simple but still attractive to play with. Designs are safe for little children and they seem to like to play with them. Balance is good between too simple and too complex.

A definate 'must' for the bookshelf!,
By R H Tugwell (Camborne, Cornwall United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 30 Toy Vehicles of Wood (Paperback)
Of all the books that I have on 'making wooden toys' I have made more from this publication than any other. My favourite wooden toys have always been those with wheels, and lorries in particular, and in this book there are plenty to choose from. I have made both of the 'tractor' units along with each of the trailers offered. I like the format of the book and find the exploded views very helpful along with the plans and elevations of those parts where they are included for clarity. A definate 'must' for the bookshelf!

A excellent descriptive guide to toy making in wood.,
By jack gerstner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 30 Toy Vehicles of Wood (Paperback)
30 Toy Vehicles of Wood is an EXCELLENT book. I have been making wooden toys for many years and I find this book a MUST for any toymakers library. The book is written for the novice woodworker, but even an expert craftsman can find some good techniques in this book. The drawing are clear and the instructions are easy to follow. The materials list for each toy is handy so just the right amount of wood can be bought. Ronald Tarjany has chosen a good cross section of toys for this book. With this book you will be making a wonderful wooden toy vehicle in no time. Buy this book. You will be well rewarded and enjoy hours of constructive entertainment during your leisure time.

Small Workshop - Great Fun,
By Clint Hunter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 30 Toy Vehicles of Wood (Paperback)
Several really nice things about building the types of wooden toys outlined in this book are that once you have the necessary tools to do the job it is a relatively inexpensive hobby, it can be done within a fairly small work space so no large woodworking shop is needed, and there is enough variety in the projects to keep you interested and enthusiastic for a long while.As for the required tools, the author suggests a work shop equipped with a bench drill press for accuracy, a band saw, a hand held orbiting sander, a circular saw, a scroll saw, a belt sander, and a router. Most of these projects can, however, be built without all the above. Tarjany does, however, suggest a minimum wood toy shop be equipped with a band saw, a bench drill press, and a bench disc sander. As the title suggests, the book contains 30 toy vehicles in a wide variety of shapes. Included are a toy sports car, a low wing plane, a helicopter, several types of work vehicles, and a small diesel freight train among other projects. For each project there are detailed instructions, line drawings, photographs, and a list of required materials. Helpful hints are provided along the way, but the budding toy maker will need to know the basics of measuring, cutting, glueing, finishing, etc. This is a well done book. If you believe you would like to get involved in the fascinating and rewarding hobby of making toy vehicles of wood, this is a good book to buy in addition to a basic primer in woodworking techniques. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful:

Father in-law love it,
By Gail Woodward - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 30 Toy Vehicles of Wood (Paperback)
I bought this book for my father in-law a year ago. He is a retired carpenter and I thought he would enjoy building some of those cute wooden toy vehicles. I was right he has build several of the toys and he really enjoyed building them. I enjoy taking them with me to the school where I teach, so the children can enjoy them too. My father in-law thinks this book is the GREATEST.
