Making Wooden Mechanical Models: 15 Designs with Visible Wheels, Cranks, Pistons, Cogs, and Cams
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.
