Making Heirloom Toys

Making Heirloom Toys  - Jim Makowicki's wooden toys show an attention to detail and sophistication of design that set them apart from the usual run-of-the-mill toy projects. This collection of toys includes 22 projects, primarily featuring transportation toys (cars, trains, trolleys, planes and boats) and also several educational toys. Each one includes a full-page photo, detailed drawings and patterns, a parts list, construction photos, and clear step-by-step instructions on how to make it. A color gallery shows all the finished toys in all their glory. Two introductory chapters explain the fine points of toymaking techniques, with helpful hints on working with small parts and choosing the best finish for your toy. 152 pgs. Makowicki
