'There are few boys who do not wish to make useful things, or who would not like to be able to do some of the odd jobs to be found in every household, and it is for those boys who are on the lookout for suitable occupation that this book has been compiled.' Whether it be a Spring-Operated Toy Machine Gun, a Garden Swing or a Hot-Air Balloon, this invaluable book originally published in 1928 captures the fascination and continued pleasure of making things for the active boy.
