"Reviews from this book: "
"I'm a 46 year old guy who was fortunate enough to have run into your book 'Fun Projects for Dad and the Kids' when I was a kid. The projects thrilled me, they were and still are creative and fun. That book inspired me to learn about tools and make toys for myself and it helped me develop a love for design that I have to this day. I am glad that you are still going strong, and I love that you reissued 'Fun Projects'. I own a few of your more recent books as well, and I always get excited when I see a new one in the book store that you have written. I just wanted to let you know you have a fan in Tucson." Sincerely, Randy
