The Handyman and Home Mechanic - Home Repairs, Decoration and Construction Illustrated James Wheeler

This early manual is an absorbing read that still contains much information and anecdote that is still useful and practical today. Tasks for the domestic handyman are extensively illustrated with diagrams, drawings and photographs forming a complete how-to guide. Contents Include: Woodwork; Constructional Woodwork; Bedroom Furniture; Simple Kitchen Fitments; Metal-work; Electricity; Wireless; House Decoration and Repair; The Garden and Smallholding. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
