Performing Wooden Toys
This collection of wooden toys which had their heyday in the Victorian era, are presented here with plans and instructions on how to re-create them for yourself, and suggestions on how to enliven the final design with coloured paints and varnishes. There is the magic propeller set spinning by rubbing two sticks together, the more familiar tumbling clown on the ladder and the treasure chest in which coins mysteriously disappear. These toys and 14 others are featured in the book with detailed working diagrams and guidance on the construction.
