that books are cheaper than tools, though I have my fair share of both.

Yeah, many/most books can be less expensive than a tool.

Which book in particular actually drills, cuts, shapes, or sands wood?

A book of matches???Â*Â* ; )

That is a YouTube video I would like to see!


It's my recollection from elementary school, that the native americans
used fire to help hollow-out their birch bark canoes! At that time,
I confronted my dad with the idea of doing such a cool project, but he
didn't bite.

Dugouts, not birch-bark. Different concepts. Dugout, you cut down
tree and hollow it out. Birch bark you take the bark off a birch tree
and fit a frame inside it.


Thank you. I was thinking about that after I posted, but I didn't have
"dugout" in my current vocabulary. Thank you for clarifying!
