Those all look really cool probably some right project gems in there some where!

Very nice find, think I'll add them to my little repository of lost knowledge, along with nessmuk, mason, graves and powell.

Nessmuk and Graves I recognise... what did the other two write?

[MikeWilkinson]

Powell, as in Baden Powell, started the Scouts movement as we know it today. His Scouting for boys is just a classic, and BS Mason, He wrote an excellent woodmanship book found here:-
