A Boy's Workshop: With plans and designs for in-door and out-door work

A practical manual presents step-by-step guidance for setting up and equipping a personal workshop, addressing bench and sawhorse construction, tool selection, storage, and basic hardware like hinges and locks. It supplies measured plans and illustrated instructions for a wide range of indoor and outdoor projects — furniture pieces, a book-rest and bed table, cabinets and catchalls, a portable wooden tent, a fernery, model railway and train, flymaking, magazine binding, photography tips, archery basics, and knots and splices. The text emphasizes safe tool use, the value of making one’s own fixtures, and the development of hands-on skills and resourcefulness through practical directions.
