Practical projects as useful today as when first published 75 years ago.
Archaic, I would not recommend.
| Customer Rating: | | If by "how to make them" you were thinking of a blueprint or plan, forget it. You will have to intuit construction from a sketch. Many of the projects/ideas were applicable in days gone by, but worth a read now only for the charm. |
Old Horseshoes
| Customer Rating: | This would be a useful book to anyone who has lots of old horseshoes, barrel hoops, wooden crates, sewing machine parts, plaster laths and other nineteenth century trash and discards.
I don't find anything in it useful to modern organic gardeners or homesteaders. Don't waste your money. |
a simple life
| Customer Rating: | | Being a woman trying to do all of this alone would be rather overwhelming. However, If one can get some help and plan ahead, some of these things could be useful. |
Wonderful old farm devices
| Customer Rating: | | Wonderful old farm devices, I am very happy I purchased this book. It is very simple and reminds me of how simple yet hardworking farmers were before modern inventions that make farming easier today. I think anyone that wants to still use the old way of doing things should check out this book. It is a basic book of basic tools that can assist the small farmer in their homestead. I would suggest it to anyone that wants to know more about old country living tools. This is a very basic foundation of information on old farm tools, their applications, and drawings to assist in actual building of the device. No schematics or anything complex, just drawings and informative accompanying paragraphs about the tool. I love it! |
Very Basic, but good ideas
| Customer Rating: | | So far i have only read about a 1/4 of the way through it, but as a machinist/welder by trade, i was expecting a little more detail on the plans and directions. i am not saying it is not a worthwhile book. With a little imagination and the basics that are stated throughout the book you can probably be inspired to make quite a few useful items. If you are looking for IDEAS to make your chores a bit easier then check it out. It is a good book as far as basics and LOTS of ideas. |
