“Nostalgic and timeless, convenient and functional. You name it–or need it–and it can be found in this seemingly all-inclusive ‘how-to’ tome of more than seven hundred projects.” –David Stiles, from the Introduction
Practical Projects for the Handy Man, Third Edition, is the perfect book for any model maven, do-it-yourselfer, or just plain grown-up kid. Originally published in 1913 by the editors of Popular Mechanics Press, this gigantic collection of activities and improvements for home, garden, transportation, recreation, and more can keep a pair of hands busy for a lifetime. Written at a time when precision and craftsmanship were as important as the final product, this book gives clear, step-by-step instructions and offers detailed illustrations for nearly every job.
