Manual Training Toys for the Boy's Workshop

Offert en anglais seulement

Manual Training Toys for the Boy’s Workshop was originally published in 1912. After a short introductory section on basic woodworking and shop tools, the book offers 42 shop projects. Each project comes with a cutting list and dimensioned drawing, and all date from the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century.

Many of these projects are toys that require some skill in woodwork, but they are not too difficult for kids and a parent to do together. Projects include a Fourth of July or New Year’s Eve rattle, a cannon that shoots marbles, a kite string reel, a pop-gun and whistle, a bow and arrow, a sword, a magic box and 35 other fun things for kids to build.
