This early manual is a fascinating read for any DIY enthusiast or historian, but contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Workshop projects are extensively illustrated with hundreds of drawings, diagrams and photographs. This comprehensive work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all woodworkers and craftsmen. Contents Include: Outdoor Furniture, Fences, Trellises, Fireplaces, Pools, Ornaments, Things for Children, Window Boxes, and the Best Ways to Grow Grass, Flowers and Vegetables. 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.
