Don Kostuch "Things To Make" by Archibald Williams is a practical guide to DIY projects aimed at young boys and amateur craftsmen, likely written in the early 20th century. The book encourages readers to engage in the hands-on creation of various items such as toys, furniture, and simple machinery, emphasizing the educational and rewarding experience of making things oneself instead of buying them. The opening of the book outlines the author’s intent to inspire creativity and manual skills, prefacing the various projects that follow. It includes a collection of definitions for specific tools and techniques used in the projects, emphasizing accessibility for readers who may not have extensive woodworking or mechanical experience. The first chapter introduces a simple project—a sawing trestle—illustrating the importance of stability in woodworking and providing detailed instructions on its construction. Overall, the beginning sets a tone of encouragement and practicality, inviting readers to explore their craftsmanship. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
