Wooden Farm Toys Book #1: Looking For a Book Reviewer

Hi Kurtis, I have made tractors and race cars for my grand kids and would be willing to review your book and if time permits, build one of the projects to get a good feel for the instructions. Do they need to be done with a scroll saw? I have one but don’t use it very often.

Kurtis,

I looked at the Amazon page and your book looks like it should appeal to a lot of woodworkers. Most of us are getting on in years and the farms we grew up on are long gone. My kids and grandchildren if I ever have any, won’t have the chance to live and work on a farm. Good luck with your book and from the front page, it looks very professional. How about making a simple farm machine with one page of instructions and one page that can be contact glued onto a piece of wood and cut out. Something that would be a simple project a woodworking grandfather could help his grandchildren make. Make a blog post here and make the material available to everyone. Then all the Lumberjock visitors could have a chance to see the quality of your work and find a reason to buy your book.

Kurtis,

From looking at the information on Amazon I think it looks like it could appeal to quite a few people. I have actually been looking into building some wooden toys for my nephew recently and I’ve also been really getting into using my scroll saw for projects recently. Having been raised on a farm and actively involved in the industry this is something that really appeals to me. I would love to review the book for you and even build the projects.

Looks really good

Kurtis, I would be delighted to review your book. I am fortunate enough to live on a working farm. We produce beef cattle, alfalfa and corn. I have six grandsons, all under age 5. One little guy is really a tractor boy. He absolutely loves any type of farm equipment. So your book looks to be right up my alley. So I volunteer to be a reviewer if you feel I can be of service to you. I have completed five semesters of college woodworking. My completed projects range from furniture (Adirondack chairs, rocking chairs, benches), to various keepsake boxes, and toys. I don’t know if that will meet your needs for qualifications, but if so, I will happily attempt the projects in your book and write a review.

Just bought you book on amazon :) I figured it was worth the price and as little time as I get in the shop with a 15month old baby, I did not want to have the pressure of writing a review. But I will be happy to review, as time permits.

Thanks everyone for the responses, I have enough reviewers at this point.
