Professional designer and woodworker Jim Makowicki's 22-project collection reflects uncanny historical detail and technical accuracy. Each ingeniously designed toy is a potential family heirloom, as a plaything or for display.

Makowicki's sophisticated toy designs are extraordinary. Some Making Heirloom Toys projects have over 50 pieces; one, a handsome ferry boat complete with vintage vehicles has over 100. There are simpler toys, too, all suited to the average woodworker's skills.

  • Projects are meticulously researched and include scale drawings that can be copier-enlarged into full-size working plans.
  • Readers get step-by-step details, including safety, design and finishing information.
  • Projects are mostly transportation toys: cars, trucks, airplanes, trains, boats and more.

About the Author
Makowicki, Jim: -

Makowicki's marvelous toys should have a special draw; six basic systems (autos, trucks, boats, houses, planes, and ships) allow kids to create a huge variety of toys out of wooden parts. The instructions show numerous techniques for working safely with small parts and are supplemented by excellent drawings and photographs. The designs are attractive, and the quality compares to the popular and expensive Brio toys. This title is perfect for those on a budget, as it will allow them to use the many wood scraps they have accumulated over the years.
