Lots of little Projects

208 (pages without an index) of various craft equipment, including: Light Box, Spray Booth, Drawing Table, Art Horse, Studio Box, Table Easel, Convertible Craft Easel, Frame, Frame Stand, Hoop Stand, Floor Loom, Inkle Loom, Weaving Accessories, Spool Rack Silk-Screen Printing Unit, Ink Platen, Bench Clamp,Potter's Wheel, Wedging Board, Electric Table Kiln. Comes complete with materials list, and step by step illustrate directions. The book is old and all the tools they used are older, no electricity required :). I would suggest looking on an auction site from the wire for the kiln, most suppliers are quite a bit more expensive.

Lots of great ideas!

Though definately written in the 70s, this book gives instructions on how to make many types of craft equipment, including a floor loom frame (not the reed or the heddles) and accessories for weaving, Pottery equipment, a number of different easels, and other craft items. There are detailed lists of supplies, and all in all, it is an easy to read book.
