Handbook of Forgotten Skills

Have you ever wondered what life was like before the internet? For example, your grandparents didn't have smartphones and computer games, but the activities still continued. Travel back in time and enjoy the simple pleasures of a bygone era. Losing track of time, do exciting sewing work, learn to orient yourself by compass or change a bicycle tire yourself. Spend time tying fisherman's knots, practicing magic tricks or just throwing a luke by the lake. Try growing and preparing your own food, pickling vegetables and dyeing fabric with vegetable dyes. You'll soon discover that you're more skilled than you thought, and you'll experience the sense of accomplishment that comes with making things with your hands. The book contains simple yet detailed instructions to teach exciting forgotten skills and bring DIY joy to boys and girls alike.
