[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 391194, member: 367"] We have almost every Popular mechanics magazines from the 40s- the 70s and there are some very cool old primitive woodworking projects in them. I was going to mention if you ever run across any. I just looked online for the heck of it and found a goldmine. As old as 1905 online for free with no downloads and searchable. just search for google books and once your in google books search for popular mechanics by year or by projects. This is one of the coolest finds ever. I'm posting a link to one I'm going to look at. I know you will find some cool woodworking ideas in these. Same for any other building , Boats, go carts , cars, airplanes, snow planes . You name it. In the paperbacks we have they were always predicting the future so back then , like now days, they knew the capabilities were there but just hadn't figured out how. The mad rush for patents and the next great invention. Have fun reading, I know some of you will.
