Отрывок из книги
Sam Martin’s reproductions of trucks, vintage cars, locomotives, and earth movers captured my interest as soon as I lay eyes on their scaled details and smooth surfaces of contrasting woods. I was impressed with the craftsmanship because, like Sam, I am a woodworker. It was soon after I met Sam that the collaboration for this book began in his workshop in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Sam’s shop consists of a variety of tools for making toys. His cutting tools are a table saw, band saw, and radial arm saw. A jointer is available for truing an edge. He has a lathe for turning wood and a thickness planer for reducing the thickness of a board. He uses a router table for putting curved profiles on wood and dadoes and rabbets into the lumber. His sanding equipment consists of stationary belt and disc sanders and an oscillating drum sander. And his hand tools are varied enough to move a project along quickly.

It was a great pleasure working with Sam for a week in the August of 1996. I was impressed with his speed, his economy of movements, and, of course, the beautiful truck and trailer he produced. I hope you will be as inspired as I was to buy the wood necessary, turn on the power tools, and make toys that, I suspect, will last at least a lifetime and hopefully more.
