This early manual is a fascinating read for any DIY enthusiast or historian, but also contains much information that is still useful today. Extensively illustrated with over 1500 working drawings, diagrams and illustrations forming a complete how-to guide. Contents Include: Woodworking, Furniture, Arts and Crafts, Outdoor Activities, Home and Garden, Model Making, Painting and Finishing, Ideas for the Workshop, Electricity, and Games and Toys. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
