I have some other, rather more ancient, tomes like the 5-volume "Amateur
Mechanic" from the 1930s (where "mechanic" means "diy-er") and the
fabulously Pythonesque "The Practical Man's Book of Things to Make and
Do", which must be of similar vintage. Useful topic like:

- Making a wood harp
- Building a sailing boat
- Overhauling a motor-car
- Taxidermy
- Making a reflex camera
- Thatching a roof

and many more...


...and probably every article written personally by FJ Camm.
