Handicraft For Handy Boys, 1911

by A Neely Hall

reprinted by Lindsay Publications

"Practical Plans for Work and Play with Many Ideas for Earning Money. With nearly six hundred illustrations and working-drawings..."

Neat books for boys... and for old men who dream of being a boy again... This is about snow castles, soap box racers, a home workshop and much more. And beautifully illustrated with drawings and photographs.

Chapters include the home workshop, tools and home-made shop equipment, elementary manual training, wood finishing, working-drawings, easily made furniture, handy contrivances for the house, a boy's room in an attic, box and barrel furniture, cigar-box toys and gifts, clockwork toys, brass craft, a boy's wireless telegraph outfit, stunts for a boys' vaudeville show, moving pictures, a snow battleship, a coaster and a bob-sled, model aeroplanes, a boy's auto-airship, camping equipment, a home-made punt (boat), a home-made sharpie (boat), pushmobiles and other home-made wagons, bird-houses, houses for pets, a castle club-house and home-made armor, and a boy's band of home-made instruments.

I'd like to meet any kid who even tried to build half the projects since this book was first published in 1911. This is loaded with great ideas but you'll have to modify some of the plans. Where are you going to get old-time cigar boxes, or wooden barrels, or clockworks?

But this is a plans book. And a mere skim through the pages was all that it took to convince me that it was worth reprinting. I think you'll agree. It's a bit expensive, but it's a big book and a short press run t'aint cheap.

Get one. It'll fill your brain with ideas, or memories. Great gift. (especially for yourself...) 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 softcover 437 pages.
