A guide to designing and making wooden toys which includes 24 projects for woodworkers of all abilities. There are toys ranging from a rocking panda to a teapot house, and none of them will take longer to make than a weekend. The book contains photographs and line drawings as well as easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, to provide the reader with the clearest possible guide to building these toys. The toys featured include a kangaroo with her "Joey", an intricate foldaway clock, a miniature skittle alley, a ball-in-a-cube game and a lorry with a trailer. There are even a series of sand-operated toys including a windmill and a set of diving dolphins. As well as the projects themselves, there are chapters on tools and equipment, materials and safety.
This text brings together 30 of the author's projects originally published in "Woodturning" magazine, with the addition of an introduction on the tools, techniques and equipment required. Each project is a game you can play - with full rules and a brief history.
This is a collection of twelve new projects for making wooden toys and games, building on the groundwork covered in the authors' first book, published in 1995. The new projects are more complex and require improving woodworking skills, but are explained in the same clear style with line drawings and photographs. The authors draw on a wide experience in toymaking and organising drama and creative play for children, including those with special needs. Projects include: a breakdown recovery truck; corner dolls' house; chinese acrobat; magic box; board games; and many more.
This guide includes a collection of toys that can be cherished for generations to come. Suitable for anyone interested in making their own toys, the step-by-step projects range from the simple to more complex.
This book contains 15 different mechanisms to make in wood, with step-by-step instructions, photographs and draughtsman's drawings of every part. The mechanisms create action with marbles that move, wheels that spin, pistons that pump - all designed to create movement and sound as well as excitement and fascination.
Dinosaurs continue to captivate people millions of years after their extinction. In this book, 13 moveable dinosaurs and three prehistoric plants can be created in wood, for use as models or toys. The designs include camptosaurus, ornithomimus, tyrannosaurus rex, allosaurus, brontosaurus and stegosaurus. Advice on safety in the workshop, wood selection, and finishing, with facts about each dinosaur and its lifestyle, is also provided.
Making Wooden Toys
by Richard Blizzard,
August 1993,
64 pages, softcover.
Categories: Projects, Toys
Having sold over 25,000 copies in hardback, this classic woodworking book is now available for the first time in paperback. When Richard Blizzard first showed his toys on BBC TV's Pebble Mill at One he was astonished by the response. Thousands of requests reached him within a few days asking for details of how to make his toys. It quickly became evident that there was a great need for a book showing a wide range of toys with cutting lists and clear step-by-step instructions integrated with the carefully designed plans. What was important was that at least some of the toys could be made by anyone, however inexperienced in woodworking. This book is the result. It includes both simple and more complicated toys so that people who have not made wooden toys before can do so confidently. The rocking-horse and go-cart are full scale so they can be ridden by children. The toys included are: Escaping robber Snooker game Somersaulting clown Rocking-horse Paddle boat Roundabout with horses Sand engine 6-wheel lorry Sand digger Windmill Puppet theatre Go-cart Wooden toys not only give hours of pleasure to children but also to those who make them, reflecting Richard Blizzard's motto 'I too will something make and joy in the making'. All measurements are both metric and imperial.
Illustrated instructions for making twelve simple wooden toys including a freight train, cargo ship, helicopter, and others.
This is Ivor Carlyle's second collection of colourful and sturdy wooden toys for scrollsaw enthusiasts to make. From a mobile to hang above a cot, to a "come-apart" car that will enthral young mechanics, each toy has been finished with a stamp technique which is described in full. The projects range from the simple to the more complex, thereby matching a child's growing development and the reader's growing skill with the chainsaw. Each project includes plans, cutting lists and step-by-step instructions, accompanied by colour photographs.
Written especially for wooden toy enthusiasts, this volume contains original toys to make at home for children of all ages. It has easy-to-follow project instructions for making a range of toys ranging from a wooden horse, a helicopter, a boat, a waddling duck, a fort and a set of skittles.
