Making Mad Toys Book is Now Shipping!
The new book from Rodney Frost (the author who wrote Whacky Toys, Whirligigs & Whatchamacallits)
is now shipping from Amazon!I have not received my copy yet. I will write a longer review once I have it and have had a chance to read it. Here is what the publisher has to say about the book...
Rodney Frost's collection of playful mechanical contraptions will captivate anyone who operates them -- and they'll entice the creative woodworker too, because these whirligigs are as much fun to make as to maneuver. The secret to these movable marvels: propellers and other action-filled parts made from wood or metal. Full-size schematics and drawings, plus detailed written instructions, will guide woodworkers smoothly through building, carving, and assembling many enchanting projects!

More books on how to make automata...great news!
Here is a post from The Automata / Automaton Blog I wrote a while back when I learned of Rodney Frosts other book, Creative Kinematics.
These are exciting times for people that want to make contemporary wood automata themselves!
