Skate ramps, zip lines, go-carts, and more! In his book, Handy Dad, Todd Davis—extreme sports athlete and host of HGTV’s Over Your Head—has compiled 25 awesome projects for dads to build with their kids. Busy dads can choose projects that range from simple to challenging and take anywhere from five minutes to a full weekend.
In addition to being an athlete, and runner-up from season two of HGTV Design Star, Todd Davis also owns a design business, Epic Spaces. Todd who is a landscape architect and contracctor, is unafraid to make his presence and opinions known and admits that his sometimes adventurous design style reflects his risk-taking personality.
Readers are given all the directions they need to grab materials that can be found around the house or at the local hardware store and get to work banging up a sweet BMX ramp or half-pipe, building a tree house or tire swing, or throwing together a slip-and-slide or tie-dye station for an afternoon of fun. With plenty of color photographs, easy-to-follow instructions, and detailed illustrations, Handy Dad is chock-full of creative and inexpensive ways to keep kids (and dads) entertained for hours.
