Making Wooden Mechanical Models

"Making Wooden Mechanical Models contains plans for fifteen good-looking and incredibly clever machines with visible wheels, cranks, pistons and other moving parts made of wood. The plans call for a challenging variety of techniques and procedures--laminating, cutting cyma curves, tenon wedging, precision drilling, pegging, whittling and more. By completing these projects, woodworkers will gain the know-how to build wooden models of their own design...machines that beg to be set into motion, turning the simplest movements into marvelous feats."--back cover.
