This is a reprint of an original edition published in 1947 by The Country Guide. Book is loaded with illustrations pertinent to the making of farm implements/tools/contruction/buildings of the period, as well as advertisements at the time. From Back Cover: Farmers have always been innovative but never more so than at the end of WWII, which came hard on the heels of the Great Depression of the 1930s. Self-sufficiency had become a necessity and this book reminds you that you actually can fix many things; you don't always have to buy a . It is a wonderful record of ingenuity, bizarre at times but always interesting and enlightening. Though some of the information no longer applies, much of it, such as the section on fences, gates, stiles and clotheslines, is as relevant today as it was in 1947 when it was written.This is the handyman's equivalent of How to Succeed in Business. It is a must-read for anyone who enjoys manual s and is interested in things.
