This book has woodworking projects to make models of engines or parts of engines in wood that can move. Each project is shown in a full color photograph, there are complete instructions for cutting out and assembling the engine, and there are templates for the parts. The line drawings are clearly marked with measurements. Not being a woodworker, I can't tell if this is an advanced book or not, but I do know the theme of the projects is unusual and worthy of making for a school or museum. ( )
