Fun projects
I am really enjoying this book. I have built two projects so far. The full size templates are great and the instructions walk you through the projects. I sent one to my grandson. I highly recommend this book.

Really fun -- a great resource
My husband, who is just starting out in woodcraft, absolutely loves this book. There are projects simple enough for his current skill level and many that tempt him to advance. Clear instructions and templates. Great resource.

Great into to wooden mechanisms.
Covers a broad range of skills and techniques, from beginner to moderate experience level. Projects are interesting, and it's worth reading if you're new to building wooden mechanisms. Gives a good overview, and a good vision of what's possible if your craftsmanship is up to the task.

Fun and enjoyable
Excellent quality and service. I not only use my scrolls saw I also use my CNC to cut these pieces and the precision of the fit is superior.

Great book for a woodcrafter who has everything
This was a gift. My father loved the details for each project and the amount of projects with in the book. I would by again for other Crafters in my family.

Incluye patrones para calcar y cortar
Fue un regalo. Les gustó, este es más viable de hacer con sierras para cortes que otros que además requieren torno para algunas partes.

Un interessante modo di entrare nel mondo degli automi semplici. Per ogni automa sono compresi i disegni di progetto.

初心者から上級者まで
かんたんな作品から始まり、最後は表紙の作品です。精度の必要のない作品から順次作っていけば、 腕が上がりそうです。全部パターンが載っていますのであとは努力だけです。
