The Boy Mechanic Makes Toys: 159 Games, Toys, Tricks, and Other Amusements
The Editors of Popular Mechanics bring you The Boy Mechanic Makes Toys: 159 Games, Toys, Tricks, and Other Amusements. It’s vintage fun! Charmingly designed to capture that old-fashioned flavor, every imaginative project remains as engaging today as ever.***NOTE!!! This book is listed by the publisher as a children's book; however, I find it to be pretty ambitious for the average child. While there are basic magic tricks & plain, cute projects like a nodding donkey, there is also much more complicated, larger projects w/ schematics. I've included sample pages & the index in the pics. Examples:Magic Tricks- slight of hand, x-ray card desk, mystery coin boxPlay Structures- instructions for a child's playhouse & a miniature windmillOutdoor Creations- projects like a homebuilt canoe & a diving towerGadgets/Gizmos- variety of gadgets, motors, & engines, allowing for experimentation w/ basic mechanics & engineering.Measures approximately 5 x7; 272 pages.
