I love the idea that this book not only let you make great gear, but also gave you such good memories.

My grandfather and I spent a lot of time in the basement making items from this book to help my grandmother after she had a stroke. The designs were simple, elegant, durable and useful. It started my love affair with making all things simple and useful. I need to get it again to remake some of these items for my grandfather who could now use them. Thank you for helping remeber something that turned a traumatic experience for my family into something that allowed my grandparents and I to spend time together and help each other. Definitely worth the $2.15. I had forgotten about this helpful book.
