Helpful to have someone lay that stuff out rather than kinda understand it by practice

Extremely advanced , need to work on simple machines first . Very useful design tips , great checklist resource

I bought and returned this book. To be honest, it doesn’t worth it. Unless you are very beginner in basic mechanics. There are no sophisticated mechanisms. 80 pages of simple things like springs and gears.
