Wheeler is a practical guide for aspiring woodworkers, likely written in the late 19th century. The manual serves to inspire and instruct amateurs of all ages in the craft of woodworking, with a focus on creating tangible projects rather than acquiring advanced technical skills. It aims to provide a foundation in key concepts, tools, and methods that will foster creativity and practical skills in woodcraft. The opening of the manual introduces the author's intent to cater to beginners—especially boys—to help them productively channel their energy into crafting wooden projects. Wheeler emphasizes the importance of thoughtful planning before starting any work and outlines the distinction between merely making objects and doing so with intention and care. The initial sections lay the groundwork by discussing the setup of a workshop, the essential tools required for woodworking, and the selection of appropriate wood. Themes of self-reliance, the rewards of hands-on skills, and the knowledge that comes from experience permeate the opening, setting a tone of both inspiration and practicality for the reader.
