Good Overall Projects

The projects shown in the book appear to be very useful [I have not made any of them yet], but some critical details about the construction seem to be missing. Using adhesive to attach some of the parts is Ok, but the author doesn’t mention which adhesive to use. On one he advises what is probably epoxy, but nothing specific. Some of the more complex projects left me confused, but that is most likely due to my inexperience.
