Description

In the first two decades of the 20th cent., men and boys alike took pride in crafting clever projects using a few simple tools and a great deal of ingenuity. As readers of “Popular Mechanics,” they turned to the magazine to find out how to make an amazing range of practical items. This is a nostalgic collection of classic, engaging designs that embody the spirit of fine workmanship, incl.: Workshop tools and kitchen utensils; Handcrafted furniture; Garden and camping projects; and Toys, games, and other amusements. From a quick-working Carpenter’s Vise to a fanciful Playground Ferris Wheel, the book offers many projects that are still doable today as well as several that are purely entertaining to read. Over 100 illustrations.
