About this product

Product Information

If you have some woodturning experience, now you can create something truly special for family and friends. These beautiful hand-crafted toys are as enjoyable to make as they are to play with. Clear step-by-step instructions, detailed photographs and easy-to-follow diagrams start with simple toys and increase in complexity. Projects are a mixture of pure turned ones and also basic constructs, whereby turned items may be cut apart and resectioned to create something different. The 20 charming projects include simple turned animals, spinning top, tea party items, skittles, stacking blocks, pull-along train and indoor quoits. Each project is designed to be tactile and visually attractive as well as fun to use, and all toys are long lasting and comply with safety standards. AUTHOR: Mark Baker has always been fascinated by wood. His father was a carpenter and joiner and, on leaving school, Mark served a five-year apprenticeship working for a local building firm, which included restoration work. He has also helped set up an industrial workshop for autistic adults and he has worked for some of the major manufacturers of woodturning tools in the UK. Mark is now the editor of Woodturning magazine and the group editor of all GMC Publications woodworking magazines. His previous books include Woodturning Projects, Wood for Woodturners, Wood Turning and Weekend Woodturning Projects, all published by GMC Publications.

  • Turned Toys - Mark Baker

    This is a brilliant and fun book written by one of the country's best known woodturners. It is well written with great photos and diagrams and some very creative ideas. The book also includes some more general advice that's very helpful. It is not just a great read but a helpful manual of ideas. This is a must for any woodturner who likes to make things for children. Some adults might appreciate the odd toy too!
