The first annual issue of Popular Mechanics Shop Notes originally came out in 1905 (from material previously submitted and published by Popular Mechanics prior to the date December 31, 1904). It was a compilation of advice on jigs, fixtures, methods of work, processes and projects. The earlier issues focused primarily on metalworking, but with hundreds of tips for a variety of other trades liberally sprinkled throughout. As years went by, the contents shifted more and more toward woodworking and handyman projects. These Popular Mechanics Shop Notes are profusely illustrated. The high quality line drawings of the earlier issues were supplanted by superb engravings until photographs started to creep in during the 1920s. Each year has its charm but all issues share the attribute of being clear, concise and widely informative. Each carries much in the way of ideas, problem/solutions and various other pieces of information else-wise lost or discoverable only with great difficulty from obscure sources. Each volume is also carefully indexed for easy article location.
