Synopsis

This book presents lessons in manual training for rural school students. In a time when industrial studies were becoming a staple of progressive schools, the author recognized the lack of resources and training available to rural educators teaching these subjects. This book presents a solution, providing step-by-step instructions for 20 simple yet practical projects for the classroom. While each project begins with a clear materials list, precise dimensions, and blueprint-style diagrams, they progress in complexity, educating students in fundamental woodworking techniques like measuring, sawing with both a coping saw and a rip saw, and using a jack plane and chisel. This educational text also includes instructions for staining and varnishing projects, along with general tool care and safety tips. This book is a valuable resource that accommodates rural school needs and empowers teachers to facilitate a well-rounded education.
