Отрывок из книги
This book is dedicated to my awesome wife to thank her for all the support, patience, editing, painting, handmodeling, typing, and loving kindness she gave me to make this book possible. It is also dedicated to my five boys who still continue to inspire me with their ideas and adventures. A special shout-out to Noah for all his work on the exploded diagrams. Finally, this book is dedicated to the next round of kids that are just reaching the toy-maker age.
