A woodworking teacher of almost twenty years sets out coping-saw projects that children can make in school or at home: balancing barristers, jointed figures, animals and moving toys. Opening chapters cover tools, the bow drill, transferring designs, woods and sawing. The colouring chapter’s ground-lead paint recipes are outdated and dangerous, and the transcriber rightly warns readers not to use them.
A trove of simple wooden toy designs for hobbyists, with the paint advice best ignored. Download the free EPUB.
