40 Power Tools You Can Make

40 Power Tools You Can Make

Originally published by Popular Mechanics in 1941, this classic manual is a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of American craftsmen. It takes the reader back to a time in America, during World War II, when resources for tool-making were scarce and shop owners had to be creative in providing the tools their work needed. It describes how to build a host of machines and power tools from commonly available materials. Plans include table saws, a thickness planer, a cordwood saw, a hydraulic press, drill presses, jigsaws, and many other handy tools.

Compiled from the pages of Popular Mechanics, the long-running American magazine of practical how-to projects, with contributions credited to Walter E. Burton.
