Summary: "The Boy Craftsman" by A. Neely Hall is a practical guidebook on handicrafts aimed at young boys, written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a manual for boys looking to engage in woodworking and various crafts, providing instruction on how to create practical projects while also emphasizing the importance of earning money through these activities. Through its detailed chapters, the book encourages creativity and skill-building in a hands-on manner. At the start of the book, the author discusses the significance of teaching boys skills in carpentry and crafting to keep them engaged and help them learn to earn their own spending money. Emphasizing that boys should develop independence and resourcefulness, it introduces the concept of a well-equipped workshop and covers essential tools and their care. The opening chapters outline the setup of a workshop and introduce basic techniques, while also outlining how boys can create various projects, from simple home items to more complex constructions like dollhouses.
