An early-twentieth-century handbook of practical projects for the home workshop. It begins with a sawing trestle and a joiner’s bench, then moves through a bookstand, house ladder, photographic developing sink, poultry house and bicycle shed to cabinet-making, telegraph sets and a working electric motor, each explained with measured drawings. Some projects involve chemicals, electricity and steam, so modern safety standards apply.

For woodworkers, tinkerers and anyone curious about how an early-twentieth-century boy spent his spare time. Download the free EPUB.
