During this time period, the methods and techniques used to create these items were just as important to the boys and men building them as the final projects themselves. They took care with their materials; they were precise and they labored over the smallest details. To know something was handcrafted was to know it was a quality piece.\n\nBecause of the exactitude of the craftsmen's methods in the early 1900s, this historical and practical text features specific step-by-step instructions and includes many detailed illustrations for even the smallest or quickest jobs, including:\n\nEskimo snow houses\nBox kites\nBoomerangs\nChair sleighs\nHomemade roller skates\nCatapults\nCanoes\nAnd more\n\nMore important than building the projects inside, this book offers fathers and sons, grandfathers and grandsons, and even uncles and nephews an opportunity to spend some time together, learn a bit about history, and produce fully functional pieces.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1628737743\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1628737743.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Popular Mechanics Press\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
