This is a carpentry book containing a section on tools and how to use them and a section on things to make. In addition to pointing out the various recreational angles of work at the bench it also shows how hours spent this way can become lucrative.

The book is divided into two parts. Part I describes the tools for building simple and complicated objects, with points on their care and how to use them advantageously. Part II gives instructions on how to build a great variety of useful and amusing things.

Mr. Collins, the author, has written other successful hobby books, including "Collecting Stamps for Fun and Profit," and "How to ride your Hobby."
