Wooden Dinosaur Toys

This is a great book for a novice woodworker. Making these dinosaurs will require a bandsaw and drill but most of the other tasks can be accomplished by hand. All the wooden parts that David specifies (wheels, pegs, etc.) are standard products, easily obtainable. The resultant toys are very charming. The only somewhat tricky part is enlarging the in-book plans to full-size (hint - go to Kinko's rather than use your at-home copier/scanner - much easier!). Also, since these toys are glued together, be prepared to repair (re-glue) them after a few months of hard play - after an evening in your workshop, they'll be as good as new.
