Backyard Things That Are Fun To Build -- scans

Dave says:

These are scans from a favorite childhood book (c. 1958) full of projects to build. It may be worth noting that I never actually built any of them, but I spent many happy hours pondering the implications.

So far I've only scanned the cover and my 2 favorite projects, but it's enough to give you the flavor of the book. Note the lovely ink-wash renderings, and the excellent "Boy's Life" language: "swell!", "fellas", etc.

Used copies of Backyard Things That Are Fun to Build are going on Amazon for $3.50. Link
