Our goal is to preserve the inspired DIY spirit of the past. Our free project reprints cover farm machines, the woodshop, machine shop, boats, archery and more. These vintage plans come from a half-century ago when do-it-yourself enthusiasts turned wood, metal and old motors into useful workhorses, functional tools, and toys.

And who hasn’t wanted to build their own lathe at some point? Alright, how about a boat instead?

This website has a range of very handy downloadable .pdfs of all kinds of ‘vintage’ (ie 50s/60s) practical projects. Quite a lot of vehicle based things.
