Things To Make...A Free Book

Growing up on a rural farm in the 1970's, I got to experience a 1950's childhood, so I was familiar with a lot of things from this antique book, Things to Make. My son is turning 8 tomorrow and I think there might be several items in here that we can put together as a father/son project.

As much as I like computers, i still like to make things with my hands and putter in the garden. There is just something special about working with your hands. That is not to say I am great at it, only that it feed good.

Download this PDF version of Things to Make for yourself and see what you can come up with.
