Excerpt from The Sportsman's Workshop Let me describe you my ideal of a shop, and see if the picture is attractive enough to make a struggle for: A small room, with two windows in it, and eight by ten feet in dimensions or even less is plenty. In it I want, first of all, a place to work on, and for this I do not think you can equal the ordinary deal kitchen table with stout legs, compared to any carpenter's contraption whatever. You want a place to stow your legs under and to work in comfort while the Old pipe sozzles in its bowl and the snow and sleet are beating against the panes outside. As you work you dream over the cam s and tramps of the season before and plan for the ones to come when spring again wakens the forest to life.

Excerpt from Canoeing, Sailing and Motor Boating: Practical Boat Building and HandlingWith most men whose homes are beside salt water, river or lake, the desire to get afloat and navigate their own craft is ineradicable. Beginning with the boyhood batteau, we grow to the youth's catboat or dory, and then to manhood's yacht or motor boat. The sea-faring blood seems well distributed throughout the country, as witness the army of inland bluejackets trained at the Great Lakes and other stations far from our seacoasts.Once a sailorman, always a sailorman, - even if the craft is of the most modest pretensions. And we do not outgrow our old loves. At forty we get as much fun out of the tiny canoe as from the expensive power cruiser, and to those of us whose purse (and we are many) does not permit anything resembling a fancy yacht, the craving to venture forth on the waters is well satisfied by a cruising canoe, a small sailboat, or a twenty-foot power boat, home-built, perhaps from knockdown frames.It is to this great class that I write.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
