Book Synopsis A Treasury of Wooden Toys, Volume 4 by : Jim Humphries
Download or read book A Treasury of Wooden Toys, Volume 4 written by Jim Humphries and published by A Treasury of Wooden Toys. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Treasury of Wooden Toys, Volume 4 offers home craftsmen detailed how-to construction information for building a selection of fine wooden toys. The seven full-color, illustrated chapters contain step-by-step instructions for building a classic sport plane, a storybook toy car, an old French army tank, and two designs of pull toys. A Mack dump truck and an antique steamroller complete the book. Several of the projects utilize a wood lathe, or alternate construction of component parts. Each chapter includes full-size, dimensioned scale plans drawn by the author. The pull toys, a mechanical turtle and a mechanical lady bug, have moving legs which oscillate realistically to delight a young child. The Mack dump truck rolls on commercially-available turned wooden wheels. Its dump bed can be manually raised to empty the contents. Mack trucks have a mystique all their own, and this near-scale model won't disappoint. The toys in this volume are intended for children old enough to be taught how to operate them and care for them. The old Aveling and Porter 1898 vintage road machine is included as the last chapter to appeal to the experienced craftsman with a well-equipped woodworking shop. It includes large, spoked wooden drive wheels with carefully-detailed instructions for making them in a home workshop. The boiler, the drive wheels, the front roller and the smokestack are all made on the lathe. The steamroller is functional and, in appearance, is near scale. As the big drive wheels roll, the flywheel is driven through a simple hairband, and rotates in the opposite direction, turning a wire crankshaft that drives an oscillating piston. The movement of these components is a major attraction of the model. It features a canopy which doubles as a handhold to drive the toy. Although an intricate project, it is designed to be sturdy, and tough enough for child's play after an adult explains the care required to use it with it without damaging it.

Download or read book A Treasury of Wooden Toys, Volume 1 written by Jim Humphries and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2020-09-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this detailed how-to on wooden toy projects, the home workshop craftsman will find full-color illustrated chapters with instructions on building a toy biplane, airplane hangar, sailboats that really sail, a submarine that runs on rubber band power, and a classic Caterpillar D-6 bulldozer. Each chapter includes full-size and dimensioned scale plans drawn by author Jim Humphries, and step-by-step details for construction. A longtime fascination with classic biplanes--those which served as war planes and later, as crop dusters and barnstorming craft--and stories he read to his sons in their childhood inspired retired U.S. Air Force Command pilot Jim Humphries to begin making wooden toys, and he now shares his creations with those interested in building these timeless toys for themselves. With designs that stem from the Cold War era, colorful paint schemes, and real, functioning motors, children and craftsmen alike will get hours of joy from building and playing with these classic toys.

Book Synopsis A Treasury of Wooden Toys, Volume 3, Volume 3 by : Jim Humphries
Download or read book A Treasury of Wooden Toys, Volume 3, Volume 3 written by Jim Humphries and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Treasury of Wooden Toys, Volume 3 offers detailed how-to construction information for building a selection of wooden toy projects by home craftsman. The four, full-color, illustrated chapters contain step-by-step instructions for building and operating two different time-tested toy sailboats and two rubber band powered historical toy submarines. One of the sailboats and one of the submarine toys involves turning the hull on a wood lathe. Each chapter includes full-size and dimensioned scale plans drawn by the author. The sailboats are quite sea-worthy, and can be pre-set to sail long straight courses without fear of being capsized by a wind gust, or sinking while out on the water. The submarines are designed for back yard swimming pools approximately thirty feet in length. They can be set to dive deep, run along under water, and surface again as the rubber bands wind down. With a different setting of the diving planes, the subs will run fast on the surface of the pool. Since the submarines are designed with positive buoyancy, they should always end their runs on the surface. The toys in this volume are intended for children old enough to be taught how to operate them and care for them. The sailboats have both a rudder and sail setting to adjust to different wind speed and direction. The submarines require hand-winding of the rubber band motor, and adjustment of the diving planes for desired operation. In both cases, adult help is suggested initially to teach the operation of boats that mimic full-scale water craft.

Every toy and game has been tested by the Foxfire students and is devised to make or play yourself, without major expense, complicated parts, or electricity. Originally published in 1985, the book includes familiar games like marbles, hopscotch, and horseshoes, as well as more obscure entertainments such as stealing the pines, crows and cranes, and thimble. Here, too, are instructions for constructing playhouses, noisemakers, puzzles, and whimmy diddles. The book also provides information on special games traditionally played on Sundays and holidays. For those who are tired of worn-out batteries and electronic toys and for anyone curious about the playtimes of an earlier generation, The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Toys and Games is a welcome and entertaining guide.
