Description
Parents, grandparents and woodworkers with small children in their lives will love these chunky model construction toys. Built to last, these eight wooden toys make the perfect "made with love" gift for children ages five and older.
Each construction model features over-sized, exaggerated parts that are easy for little hands to manipulate. And the moveable wheels and buckets will keep imaginative children engaged in hours of creative play.
Complete assembly drawings for eachof the eight toys make these projects simple for adults to make. The author also includes tested and proven parts lists and full-size cutting templates.
All of the models presented here can be made with common shop tools. The author recommends a scroll saw, a drill press, a belt/disc sander, a one-inch belt sander, a band saw, and a thickness planer.
