Overall Rating: Star FullStar HalfStar EmptyStar EmptyStar Empty ( 6 reviews )
  1. Star FullStar EmptyStar EmptyStar EmptyStar Empty Posted: Nov 3 2008

    While depicting interesting marble-action games, the lack of dimensioned drawings and detailed construction instructions make the book pretty much useless for the casual woodworker interested in constructing the toys.

  2. Star FullStar FullStar EmptyStar EmptyStar Empty Posted: Feb 1 2007

    In today's world not many woodworkers make things by hand. The book is hard to work with, difficult to find basic stock requirements and measurements. I would not buy again.

  3. Star FullStar FullStar EmptyStar EmptyStar Empty ( 6 of 6 found this review helpful ) Posted: Feb 21 2006

    This book contains 10 ideas for games which seem to be what every child would enjoy. The problem is that most of the figures used in the book to give construction details leave a lot to be desired. Most of the photos are black and white and difficult to see any detail. The drawings are also in black and white and are also very difficault to follow.
