CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Almost a very good book -
I have found, like the other reviewer, the plans are often incomplete with measurements which are either missing or require effort to calculate. The plans, although very interesting, are done to a scale that makes measuring the sizes of pieces difficult.
I like the concepts of the plans but felt the author's true goal was to get me to order the full size plans offered in the back of the book.
On the other hand the book has wonderful ideas and if you are the type of person who is able to transform good ideas into your own plans this is a very good book for you.

Excellent toy designs, however some plans are incomplete. -
This book features some excellent designs for construction vehicles that will both satisfy the woodworker and the lucky child that receives the toys. With some disappointment, however, the plans are incomplete, missing various critical views and dimensions, making the toys that much more difficult to reproduce. The alternative is to be creative and "guess" at the dimensions or, purchase full size plans advertised in the back of the book.
Excellent variety of plan selection and skill levels ... -
As a freelance draftsperson this book is one of four by Sun Designs that I had the
pleasure of assisting with. 'Classic Toys in Wood' was a true
delight as was the follow up book 'Making Timeless Toys in Wood'.
Classic Toys in Wood contains 40 toy plans including; construction toys,
a host of fun toys in the 'boat marina' theme, rocking horses, and more.
The book itself contains 12 mini plans as well as an illustrated story
for children.
My niece was just a small child while I was working with the
protypes of these toys. She visited often and of course loved to
play test them. She especially liked the ferris wheel and all
the little people she could put on the ride.
Unlike some mass made toys, these stood up to the rigors of play.
Along with the mini-plans included in the book you will find
excellent step-by-step instructions and materials lists.
Full size plans for all the toys shown in the book can be ordered directly from Sun Designs.
