Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This first volume of the Boy Mechanic series is an exhaustive collection of building projects and household help hacks. From large detailed plans to build a sailing canoe, to the emergent need to create a quick paper funnel, this book has instructions and detailed diagrams for a wider variety of items. The many contributors have advice on cleaning, constructing, magic, efficiency, and fishing to name just a few of the 700 topics in this vast manual. This volume was originally published in 1913 and reads as both intriguing reference and historical nonfiction.Although you may want to bypass the less relevant directions to create a telephone receiver or a flatiron rest, and you will definitely bypass instructions for projects using mercury and lead, the projects that detail creating kites, performing intricate magic tricks, building motors, homesteading, making your own aquarium, creating a lamp with shade will keep you entertained with the simple ingenuity that can be adapted by the reader for their own circumstance.Present day note: While editing this book, I was often amazed at the ingenuity and also marveled at the safety concerns that would arise in our present day and age with these projects. I could think of many of my eccentric aunts and uncles that this book should never be shown to, and should you be one of those eccentric aunts or uncles looking at purchasing this book, I bear no responsibility for the ideas this book inspires within you. Pondering several boat plans within this book, my breath is still held as I imagine my own uncle potentially setting sail upon the sea on his newly created "project". So, be warned that 1913 was a different time and be careful out there.Please take a peek at the table of contents to sample the array of amazing projects within! includes all 800 original illustrations table of contents an new introduction detailing the Boy Mechanic series Note: the manuscript was reloaded January 12,2022 to update the missing images.
