  • Overview

    “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. Practical Projects for the Handy Man, Third Edition, is as satisfying and reliable a guide for the modern builder as it was at the turn of the century. 

    Some of the hundreds of fun and fascinating projects from which to choose include:
    • Porch swing chair
    • Toboggan sled
    • Mission library table
    • Homemade still
    • Electric clock
