The Boy Mechanic
- bigger & better! This handsome hardcover features every one of the fantastic vintage projects & handy advice from both The Boy Mechanic & The Boy Mechanic Makes Toys. Taken from the turn-of-the-last-century volumes of The Boy Mechanic, these 359 projects are still doable & delightful today. Like a miscellany for the home how-to crowd, the book offers instructions for making toy boats & planes, hammocks, sleds, skates & special equipment for your own spy lab (such as periscopes), as well as fortune-telling tricks, illusions, games & more. Charming original illustrations throughout make this an appealing, nostalgic & fun guide for everyone.
