Whacky Toys, Whirligigs & Whatchamacallits

These charming mechanical contraptions will captivate anyone who operates them—and creative woodworkers will find them fun to make. “Quite impressive...[Frost] offers colorful drawings. Designs include a dancing lumberjack, an exercising couple, and many more, all powered by handcrank or wind. This title is a nice departure from woodworking titles that require expensive materials and measurements to 1/64". Recommended.”—Library Journal.
