Making Wooden Military Toys

By Ralph Buckland

Wooden military toys are a great way for kids to have fun and learn a little about history at the same time. With 570 color images and detailed instructions, learn to make nine military vehicles, from World War I Era planes, like the Fokker DR 1, to today's technologically advanced Stealth Fighter. There are also tanks, a semi-truck, an ambulance, and a jeep. Chapters include tools and equipment needed, as well as techniques for making wheels, relief cuts, flat bottom holes, and tracks. The projects build on the maker's skill level with something for everyone. Some of the vehicles only take a couple of hours to build and are great for parents or grandparents and children to do together. The toys will not only provide a fun and rewarding experience while making them, but also years of fun playtime for a child. They are also great additions to any hobbyist's and woodcarver's collection.
