This early manual is a fascinating read for any home crafts enthusiast
or historian, but contains much information that is still useful and
practical today. Workshop projects are extensively illustrated with
hundreds of drawings and diagrams. This comprehensive work is thoroughly
recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all woodworkers and
craftsmen. Contents Include: Tools and How to Use Them; For the Living
Room; For the Kitchen; For the Workroom and Cellar; For the Bedroom; For
the Bathroom; For the Garden and Outdoors; For Men and Women; For
Children; Painting and Finishing. 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.
