5.0 out of 5 stars A book filled with plans for small hands-on wooden machines, February 4, 1998
By Jim Barstow (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
This is a book filled with projects for machines that are fun to play with. Over the years I have built more than half of them. (And given them all away as Christmas presents.) The machines are unique and really fun to watch work. A relatively high level of woodworking skill is required.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful gift for the woodworker, December 2, 1999
By A Customer
I ordered this book for my dad last Christmas, and he has used all of the patterns at least once. He is constantly telling me how well-planned the book is. I'm not a woodworker, but my dad is, and he rates this book top notch!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent patterns for great models, March 1, 2009
By Dale C. Maley "Index Fund Investor" (Fairbury, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I bought this book back in 1991 when it was new......and it set on my shelf for 17 years. In 2008, I made my first model...the wooden u-joint model. In the last few months I have made 6 more models. I have only had minor problems with a couple of patterns. The back plate patterns on a couple of models are very hard to follow...because he advocates making a jig......which is ok......except his jig is not the same size as the back plate......a minor issue.

I would rate myself an advanced woodworker with a full shop of tools.......and would rate these patterns challenging....but fun. My fellow engineers at work love playing with my finished models. They also would make great presents for the grand children.
