About this product

Product Information

It's vintage fun! This follow-up to "The Boy Mechanic--Popular Mechanics'" collection of can-do ingenuity from the early 1900s--features more than 200 unique toys and games that anyone with a basic tool kit will want to make, plus the unusual and attractive rounded, flexibound format. Charmingly designed to capture that old-fashioned flavor, every imaginative project remains as engaging today as ever, with its appeal fully intact. There's amusement for little kids, including a toy donkey that nods and wags its tail; a child's playhouse and a miniature windmill; magic tricks, such as an "X-Ray" pack of cards and mystery coin box; items for the great outdoors, which range from a homebuilt canoe to a diving tower; plus gizmos and gadgets, "scien-terrific" motors and engines, and entertaining objects for an older child to create and play with.

  • Soem doable projects that probably won't work well

    I made an ice glider as a kid, except it was a single runner. It didn’t work very well. Had to build a bobsled for a boy-scout jamboree, used a Flexible Flyer and a flip-top beer case for storage. We did not get a good evaluation. Built a raft using logs,it sank, good thing the pond was only a couple of feet deep. The log catamaran would probably sink faster and deeper. The Ice yacht would have worked well on Brest Bay of Lake Erie using ice skates for runners. Made those paper cubes. One would almost bet that the rubber band airplane won’t fly.

  • The Boy Mechanic Makes Toys

    This book contains things that our grandfathers knew. Things they learned in old time "guy school", but with all the electronic toys and everything requiring batteries and no imagination, we have forgotten. Easy to do, easy to make, easy to understand directions. This is a great book for sons, fathers, uncles, grandfathers. A great book of practical fun.

  • Cd case

    Looks new, informative, but not used as intended. Makes a great cd case, no one steals a book.
