Product Information

Mechanical toys transcend categories of age with their universal appeal. Whether the mechanism is hidden or revealed, simple or complex, the cycle of movement allows you to simply turn a handle and see the magic work. Making Mechanical Toys explains how to make these wonderful and fascinating toys through a variety of bright and exciting projects. Seventeen original 'gallery' mechanical toys have been designed and made especially for this book. * Step-by-step instructions with over a hundred and forty colour photographs and plans for making the toys. * Advice on tools and materials, priming and painting, and tricks of the trade draw upon the author's wide experience. AUTHOR: Rodney Peppe is author-illustrator of over eighty children's books, and creator of Huxley Pig and Angelmouse for television. Rodney Peppe's Moving Toys was published in 1980, and this led to his toymaking.
