Summary: The Ultimate Wood Block Book
Review: I am a woodworker and never thought there would be a book that could help me with making blocks. I was wrong, this is that book. This book gives plans on how to make blocks that can be used to make supension bridges, casles, etc. Blocks that even a young teen would get a kick out of using.

It also gives recommendations on how many of each block to build.

I helped a friend make blocks for his children and they came out great.

One downside to this book is that it calls out pine to build the blocks however the blocks in the pictures are made of maple or birch.

Another downside is that this book disappears. I lent my copy to someone and it didn't come back. I am looking for another copy.

Summary: Ultimate wood block book; building castles, bridges, etc.
Review: This book will walk you through the making of an amazing set of several hundred blocks of several types. The work requires moderate woodworking skills, quality machinery for accurate cuts and, if you use clear pine or maple (recommended), at least $$$ in materials alone. It will take two or more days but the result is more than worth the effort. The little kids will just see too many blocks and probably should be limited in their access. Using the excellent illustrations, however, the older kids will see the makings of not just bridges and castles, but also of classical greek, roman, and gothic details. With or without parental participation, it can be quite a learning experience.
