"Things To Make" by Archibald Williams is a handbook designed to inspire young boys and hobbyists to explore the world of creating their own things. The book focuses on teaching readers to build useful objects—from playthings to furniture and basic machines—highlighting that doing it yourself is more fun and educational than simply purchasing items. Initially, the author explains his goal of stimulating creativity and skillfulness in his audience. It kicks off with explanations of common tools and methods required for the projects, ensuring it's easy for anyone, even those new to working with wood or machines, to follow along. The book then begins with a straightforward project on how to build a sawhorse, pointing out how important it is to have a sturdy base when working with wood, and providing clear, step-by-step directions. Generally, the introduction to "Things To Make" is positive and down-to-earth, urging readers to dive into creating things on their own.
