Master craftsman Rodney Frost shares his wealth of knowledge with clear explanations and easy-to-follow instructions, building from simple to more complex projects to help you quickly absorb the lessons and build your skills. Frost keeps the concepts relatable, the materials accessible, and the projects doable. Simple illustrations help explain how basic mechanisms work, including cams, cranks, levers, pulleys, gears, and flywheels. In the skill-building simple projects, Frost suggests making the models with inexpensive household items, such as cardboard and string, before beginning construction with wood. Although the book consists primarily of projects for beginners and those with a desire to learn the basics of mechanical constructions, the much-beloved Creative Kinetics has nevertheless become a valued resource for hobbyists of all ages and experience levels. The simplified projects explained here provide excellent opportunities to learn the fundamental components and functions of more complicated creations, making this book a helpful and inspiring springboard for exploration of more advanced artwork and sculptures.

Download or read book A Treasury of Wooden Toys Volume 4 written by Jim Humphries and published by A Treasury of Wooden Toys. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Treasury of Wooden Toys, Volume 4 offers home craftsmen detailed how-to construction information for building a selection of fine wooden toys. The seven full-color, illustrated chapters contain step-by-step instructions for building a classic sport plane, a storybook toy car, an old French army tank, and two designs of pull toys. A Mack dump truck and an antique steamroller complete the book. Several of the projects utilize a wood lathe, or alternate construction of component parts. Each chapter includes full-size, dimensioned scale plans drawn by the author. The pull toys, a mechanical turtle and a mechanical lady bug, have moving legs which oscillate realistically to delight a young child. The Mack dump truck rolls on commercially-available turned wooden wheels. Its dump bed can be manually raised to empty the contents. Mack trucks have a mystique all their own, and this near-scale model won't disappoint. The toys in this volume are intended for children old enough to be taught how to operate them and care for them. The old Aveling and Porter 1898 vintage road machine is included as the last chapter to appeal to the experienced craftsman with a well-equipped woodworking shop. It includes large, spoked wooden drive wheels with carefully-detailed instructions for making them in a home workshop. The boiler, the drive wheels, the front roller and the smokestack are all made on the lathe. The steamroller is functional and, in appearance, is near scale. As the big drive wheels roll, the flywheel is driven through a simple hairband, and rotates in the opposite direction, turning a wire crankshaft that drives an oscillating piston. The movement of these components is a major attraction of the model. It features a canopy which doubles as a handhold to drive the toy. Although an intricate project, it is designed to be sturdy, and tough enough for child's play after an adult explains the care required to use it with it without damaging it.

Download or read book Making Moving Toys and Automata written by Robert Race and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful book draws on Robert Race's extensive collection of traditional moving toys, looking at the ways the makers have achieved remarkable and varied results, often with very limited resources. Each chapter begins by looking at the mechanisms and materials used in some of these traditional moving toys, goes on to consider possible variations, and describes how to make a related moving toy. It continues, from this basis, to develop a design for an automaton. The book shows that designing and making these simple but wonderfully satisfying mechanical devices is fun, and that good results can be achieved in many different ways, using a variety of materials, tools and equipment such as wood and wire, card and paper, bamboo, string, tin plate and feathers. It exploits, in a simple way, mechanisms such as levers, linkages, cranks and cams. It explores different ways of moving those mechanisms directly by hand, by springs or falling weights, and by the wind. Beautifully illustrated with 117 colour images.
