Inventive and unique, this dynamic collection of woodworking projects teaches the basic skills needed to make exciting, action-packed toys. From rapid-fire nickel launchers and ball-and-socket robots to a monkey-toss gumball machine, each project includes a colour photograph, a tools and materials list, a full diagram, woodworking plans and instructions for using the finished product. Covering all the methods necessary for creation - selecting wood, drilling and shaping, making wheels and axles, and decoration - these constructions are simple enough for children and parents to complete together, all in an afternoon's time.
