Practical Things With Simple Tools INTRODUCTION Nearly every boy feels the desire, at some time or other, to make useful and pretty things for himself, or his playmates, and just as often is quite sure that he can handle tools as successfully as any carpenter or joiner whom he has ever seen at work. While, as our boy will soon discover for himself, the use of tools must be learned, like everything else that is worth while he can, by the exercise of a little skill and care, soon become sufficiently proficient to do neat and strong work. It is for the instruction of the aspiring young mechanic that the following pages have been written. The instructions which they contain will furnish constant amusement, also real education, to any boy who will follow them faithfully. It has been the aim of the author to select only such articles as can be made with the simplest of tools and with little or no preparatory knowledge of carpentering.
