DESCRIPTION:
. If you can only justify one of these titles, the Amazing Vehicles will serve the widest audience. Most woodworkers will be capable of completing these designs, although some are much more complex than others. In these titles, St-Amour shows how to make a slew of realistic model vehicles from wood. Each title offers plans for eight vehicles: a bulldozer, backhoe, pickup truck, airliner, motorcycle, and a train are just some of the offerings. Building toys with small parts requires special care because of the choking hazard to small children. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc. St-Amour solves this problem by offering plans to make similar trucks in two of the books; one offers rugged designs without small parts for kids (Making Construction Vehicles for Kids) and the other offers more elaborate display models (Realistic Construction Models You C
Luc St-Amour is the author of Realistic Construction Models You Can Make, Amazing Vehicles You Can Make, and Antique Cars and Trucks You Can Make. He lives in Gatineau, Quebec.
The eight projects include: loader, dozer, dozer loader, excavator, grader, skidder, grapple skidder, and backhoe.. Featuring over 200 assembly drawings, this step-by-step reference makes building wooden construction toys simple. From building the wheelbase to adding the buckets, craftsmen can create these toys exactly as they are shown in the book or alter them to create new vehicles with full-size cutting templates provided by the author
Some worth while plans Randy H. Martindale My 12 year old son talked me into buying this. I am glad he did. Finally its something we can enjoy doing together. The plans are clear and detailed. Wish the plans could be removed or made easier to copy so we could have some building plans. The photos are good. All in all, I am glad we got the book. CT06897 said Mediocre at best.. There are much better books on the same subject. This product is misleading. It says that there are two sets of patterns for each project whereas there is just one. Save you money, don't buy it.. Great book, could work with your favorite mini carpentry helper! Richard Naylor This soft cover book was a real surprise, it showed in detail how to cut out and assemble several construction vichicles for kids to play with. They could be used outside, but that would result in some real damage to a qualit hand made toy. If you have some contrasting woods such as maple and walnut they will really look great.
