There’s something intriguing about a machine with well-crafted wooden parts . . . cogs and cams that fit together “just so” to perform a task. There’s also precise challenge in building such a wooden wonder – and a special satisfaction in watching the excitement of those who turn the handle to see what happens. Making Wooden Mechanical Models contains plans for fifteen good-looking and incredibly clever machines with visible wheels, cranks, pistons and other moving parts made of wood. Projects include the:    • Oil pumping rig    • Flywheel propeller machine    • Rack & pinion machine    • Harmonic oscillation punch machine    • Reciprocating engine    • Cam & fork machine    • Combustion engine    • Pendulum escapement machine The plans call for a challenging variety of techniques and procedures – laminating, cutting cyma curves, tenon wedging, precision drilling, pegging, whittling and more. By completing these projects, woodworkers will gain the know-how to build wooden models of their own design…machines that beg to be set into action, turning the simplest movements into marvelous feats.
