| Publisher Description: In this detailed how-to on wooden toy projects, the home workshop craftsman will find full-color illustrated chapters with instructions on building a toy biplane, airplane hangar, sailboats that really sail, a submarine that runs on rubber band power, and a classic Caterpillar D-6 bulldozer. Each chapter includes full-size and dimensioned scale plans drawn by author Jim Humphries, and step-by-step details for construction. A longtime fascination with classic biplanes--those which served as war planes and later, as crop dusters and barnstorming craft--and stories he read to his sons in their childhood inspired retired U.S. Air Force Command pilot Jim Humphries to begin making wooden toys, and he now shares his creations with those interested in building these timeless toys for themselves. With designs that stem from the Cold War era, colorful paint schemes, and real, functioning motors, children and craftsmen alike will get hours of joy from building and playing with these classic toys. |
