Whilst in my local secondhand bookstore today my wife spotted this book and handed it to me, its 143 pages long (A4 size) and contails some pretty interesting information covering...
Making gates and fences.
Dam building and tank sinking.
Making simple buildings and rough shelters.
Log cabins.
Aboriginal huts.
Adobe buildings.
Making furnature.
Cooking tripods, billy holders.
Waterwheels, windlasses.
Bush water heaters.
Leatherwork, tanning, sadde/bridle making, making punches for leather.
Making whips (steady there at the back).
Knife/compass/water container pouches.
Care of hourses.
Knots and splices.
Netmaking.
Hammockmaking.
Casting nets.
Fishing and fish traps.
Gold prospecting.
Its an interesting read and the emphasis is on the Crafts part, theres lots of projects to keep someone interested and all in all its worth every penny of the six quid we paid for it.
HERES a link to on on Amazon.
Would I pay the Amazon price for it? Hell yes, its a good book.
