The only woodworking book I got this time was Making Useful Things Of Wood, copyright 1950, so they used a lot of handtools, including hand drills. What I really liked about this book was a complete plan for a two-story colonial style doll house - and detailed instructions on making ALL the furnishing for the inside, including a bathroom sink. Chairs, stairs, cabinets, everything. The rest of the book had some good stuff too, like a miniature Conestoga wagon, a very nice utility chest, several small cabinets, and so on. $4.95.

They had a bunch of other woodworking books, either 7 or 8 different books on cabinetmaking/mill work, about 4 on handtools, 2 on backyard play structures, about 6 on model making, one on whirlygigs, a couple on woodworking with kids, and a whole bunch more. There was even one on small yard ornaments, but sadly it had no duck patterns or I would have bought it also. You want free plans to to your local library. You want books with plans to keep, go to your friendly local used bookstore. They even had a book by some guy named Charles R. Self and one of Roy's too. I don't use any handtools so I couldn't buy Roy's. The one by this guy Self looked good, title was something like 101 Things To Make
(really don't remember) but was out of money at that point.

I have a small sleeve of reproduction wall paper for a doll's house; originally bought from the Smithsonian Store about 10 years ago.
