Just reading it brought to mind one of those old television announcers from the 1950s. There are ten basic crafts that it demonstrates, with an example project for each one. You can make stuff out of tin cans, or carve wood with an ax. Some of the projects are pretty neat, like tying your own fisherman's flies. Others are things that I don't really think I would do, like tying your own fisherman's flies. Kidding aside, this is a charming bit of Nostalgic Americana, when you could buy things for less than a dollar and everything could be supplied by some government agency, since you are in the armed forces and have nothing else to do. Although a lot of these crafts are pretty cool, they are things that I wouldn't actually do. That doesn't really detract from the book itself though. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
As its servicemen returned home at the end of World War II, the US Army turned to Popular Mechanics to help them find new and lucrative occupations. A series of ten pamphlets was created, teaching skills that were "fun to do and profitable too." Reprinted here in a single volume, and featuring all of the original artwork, these mini instructional courses will entertain men of all ages--even if their workbench is really the living room coffee table! From leather crafts and bookbinding to block printing and cartooning, there's a hobby to be found here for anyone. More ambitious readers may consider learning coping saw techniques, or even ax crafts, which entail making rustic furniture and fixtures using a single hatchet. As charming today as it was industrious then, the book is packaged in a vintage style that authentically captures the "can-do" spirit of the era. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
