Chickens Feed is a popular item made mostly in Czechoslovakia but this may be the only plan. Fine wood pieces are cut and fit to produce five feeding hens and little chicks. A weight below the paddle swirls around as the chicken's heads bob up and down to feed. Fun clicking sounds accompany the action. Finished dimensions are for the paddle part of the project.

A fun variety to suit everybody and rugged enough to endure the little hands that will play with them. Five sets of vehicles is this pattern package. Four cars, boats, planes, truck and military vehicles. Plus a bonus plan set for a circus train. 21 toys in all.

This device is quite fun! Build either single cars or couple cars together as a train. The vehicles run down each ramp to flip over and continue on the next ramp at top speed. The bottom ramps are offset so a five car train can be stored on a hook at the side. The train is shown in multiple colors. Fun and furious! Design is inspired by bright European colors to enhance the project.

Boy scouts and other outdoor folks have made this curious device for many decades. They rubbed a stick over a larger notched stick to spin a twig nailed in the front. Ours uses dowels and a propeller. But what many do not know is while the notches are rubbed, the propeller can spin either direction without detection. Bystanders can ask yes questions (clockwise) or no questions (counterclockwise) for an answer and not know how the propeller knows. The secret technique comes with the plan.

Trebuchet Trivia. A trebuchet (pronounced treb-you-SHET) was a medieval device used to hurl large stones and other heavy projectiles at enemy fortifications. Using the mechanical advantage of a counterweight to rotate an arm, the device could heave objects up to 350 pounds at high speed and hundreds of feet. The projectile was placed into a sling that was pulled along the platform. When released, the sling and arm rapidly rotated to the vertical position, where one end of the sling came free, releasing the projectile. This trebuchet measures approximately 5 inches wide, 12 inches long, and 17.5 inches high with the arm at the top position.
