5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent plans.,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Art of Making Wooden Toys (Chilton hobby series) (Paperback)
This book contains a short chapter on toy making, and then moves quickly into the plans. It has 23 plans, which may seem small compared to some books, but it makes up for it in quality. Each chapter contains pictures of the finished products, step-by-step drawings, and plan sheets that can function as a template for the work. These plan sheets are great, and so is the book in general.

My Favorite Toymaking Book,
By
This review is from: The Art of Making Wooden Toys (Chilton hobby series) (Paperback)
This is one of the first wooden toy books I purchased, and it has remained my favorite throughout the years. The author starts with his philosophy of toys, which differs greatly from the gaudy blow-molded stuff you buy. There are a couple good pages on designing your own. Some of the projects are delightful, and I have built several for my kids. The WWI-vintage biplane and triplane are worth the price of the book by themselves. For the obligatory wooden train, you can do better, but the old-time race cars and the fishing boat are great. Someday soon I want to build the Gypsy wagon for my grandkids.
