A guide to experimenting with your hands and mind. Bill Abler does more than nurture the Great American preoccupation with gadgets. He has an uncanny ability and style that brings tools and materials to life. The sensuous gadgeteer works with plastics, enamel, metals, gems, abrasives, solders, sand, silicones, wood, and every conceivable tool. A how-to-book that takes you on a journey through the metaphysical and functional area of toying.
