Description
|
|
|
|
Talk about nostalgia with a purpose! Using only basic materials, a minimum of technology, and a maximum of ingenuity, men and boys of a century ago dedicated themselves to crafting all sorts of practical and fanciful items. These highly valued skills revealed the measure of a man, and Popular Mechanics led the way in instructing these handy creators. This book for fledgling mechanics 8 and up collects 200 projects from the magazine's pages, for constructing T-squares and sawhorses; an animal-proof gate latch and a birdhouse made from an old straw hat; household gadgets and handcrafted furniture; a picnic table and camping gear (including a screen door for a tent); and numerous toys and games.
