Michael C. Dank Scrap Craft - 105 Projects Dover Publications 1969
Title: Scrap Craft - 105 Projects
Author: Michael C. Dank
Format: Softcover
Publisher: Dover Publications 1969
Edition: First Edition
ISBN: 9780486219998
Size: 5 x 8 * 376 pages including index
Synopsis: Here between the covers of a single book is an almost inexhaustible collection of arts and crafts for you to work on. Projects that you can spend years exploring, or entertainments that you or your children can make in a matter of minutes; hundred-year-old or modern-day crafts; projects that take a half hour, or many weeks-they are all included here. In many cases materials for the projects are either free or easily available at very small cost: odd wood, felt, leather, paper, and similar material.
Among the items which you can make are: wall shelves, tie racks, toy furniture, snapshot albums, doll cradles, handkerchief chests, bean shooters, ring toss games, bread cutting boards, book and magazine racks, plant boxes, shoe polishing stands, lanterns, dumbbells, sewing kits, hot-pot stands, table mats, mittens, beanbags, wastebaskets, toy trunks, desk blotters, doll houses, acorn necklaces and bracelets, birch bark calendars and pads, maraccas, lapel pins, earrings, buttons, buckles, belts, brooches, and more!
To render the book more useful to the reader who has not had working experience in this area, Mr. Dank first gives general instructions on techniques and preparation of materials. Illustrations showing the step-by-step procedures for making many of these projects give the reader an even clearer idea of how to produce the desired craft. The author has also given alternate materials, methods, and designs so the reader can be more creative and substitute supplies.
An important part in educational and recreational handicrafts, this book not only instructs those interested in all forms of handwork procedures, but often inspires and brings a high degree of accomplishment to the beginner. More than 40 illustrations make even the more complex projects proceed easily. Camp counselors, scoutmasters, occupational therapists or even parents who wish to entertain children will all find this a very rewarding book.
Unabridged, unaltered reprint of the 2nd (1947) edition.
Overall Condition: Very Good with some minor cover issues; see images.
Secure shipping bubble-wrapped in a new box.

==========================================================================================================================
Just about all the books are USED books. Some have been used more gently than others. Some have been in libraries and have typical library extras. Some are so old and/or interesting that they are being offered for the sake of preservation regardless of the condition they are in. If the condition of the book is very important to you, please feel free to click the 'Ask seller a question' link and I will tell you more.
