Simple, functional-and just plain fun. That describes the 12 projects in this collection of classic wooden toys in Tremendous Toy Trucks. The projects featured here include dump trucks, a tow truck, a flatbed, a semi, a cement truck, logging trucks-and more beautiful heirlooms.

There's a project for every woodworker -- and hours of imaginative play for the lucky kids who will get the trucks once they are made.

• Designs are varied and durable enough for kids who play hard
• Includes more than 300 photos and illustrations
• Projects have working parts -- from winches to rolling wheels.
