Description
You do not wish to own a factory to make toys. Writer and toymaker Bob Knetzger has been making fun stuff all his life with simple technology like vacuum forming and mold-making. In an age where makers are tantalized by the capabilities of 3d printers and other digital fab technology, this book takes you back to old-school hand tools, simple electronics, and working with metal and plastic to make toys each bit as good as the ones you’ll find in a large-box store.
This book has something for everyone, from a marble maze to a talking booby trap; from custom cookie cutters to an “EZ Make” oven. Discover the elemental principles of science, electronics, and engineering through hands-on projects that range from easy to tougher… and are all the time fun!
