This review is from: The Family Handyman: Toys, Games, and Furniture (Hardcover)
I built the rocking horse on the front cover of this book. It turned out pretty well. The drawings in the book are fairly easy to follow. However, the written instructions have some holes in the explanation. In addition, the instructions imply that stationary power tools are recommended for this project, but hand-held tools would work as well. I seriously doubt that this horse could be built properly using only a hand-held jigsaw and electric drill. The precision required to do this project *right* really call for bigger tools. One other gripe - after moderate use in the workshop, the binding on this book started to come loose, and a couple of pages came out.But overall, I was pleased with the project and hope to build some more toys using the plans in this book. It was worth the price just for the horse plans.

Any One Of The Projects Is Worth The Price Of This Book!,

This review is from: The Family Handyman: Toys, Games, and Furniture (Hardcover)
I made 2 of the Bunk Beds with the desk option. They turned out great. There were a few errors in the shopping list, so double check the list against the plans or you may have to make a second trip. I also made several modification to better fit our needs. The illustrations were exellent and don't be afraid to make changes. If you only use one project in this book, it is still worth buying.
