All hail the industrious woodworking youngsters of the 19th century This enchanting and practical guide, originally published in 1874, offers these adept lads what its author calls, in the book's subtitle, "Practical Directions for Making Numerous Articles for Use and Ornament, Mechanical Toys, Models, &c; With Descriptions of Various Tools, and the Method of Using Them." Learn how to build a small summer-house; model bridges, tables, bookshelves, gates, desks, dog kennels, and chests, along with specific woodworking skills like veneering and lengthening timber. The book aims to enlighten and entertain even as it strives to instill virtue and industry in its young readers. It's a very handsome volume, with nearly 200 illustrations, a pleasing typeface and a charming authorial tone. The projects are a pretty varied lot, ranging from the simple to the very ambitious. While there is some basic instruction on how to do things, the author expects some familiarity with tools. It is however a great font of ideas and a starting point for lots of projects that you might not ordinarily attempt. We found the book a lot of fun. Incidentally the cover, which is a faithful restoration of the original is one of the cooler woodworking book covers ever. As a bonus, the detailed booklist from Cassell, Petter & Galpin, the original publishers, provides a fascinating window into the era's recommended books for wholesome and hardworking families. Softcover, 227 pages.

Small but mighty
Color: Chew Pair, Size: Mini (Pack of 2)
Dusty (chihuahua) loves the blue bone! It is the perfect size for his little mouth and he loves that he can put it to the back of his mouth and just chew on it. The rope one is his least favorite as it appears to be too big for his mouth. They’re great quality and while they are not stretchy they do bounce!

The only toys my older Chihuahua likes
Color: Chew Pair, Size: Mini (Pack of 2)
These are the only toys my older Chihuahua likes. They can't be found locally, Thank goodness I can order them and get them here fast. My younger Chihuahua grabs them sometimes and chews big chunks off. Swallowing the chunks would be a concern

Good but watch for the strings coming undone.
Color: Chew Pair, Size: Mini (Pack of 2)
Our 12 week old puppy has loved chewing on these bones. The only issue you'll need to look out for is the knots in the strings come undone very easily. I've had to retire them multiple times. This could be dangerous for dogs that like to eat strings!!
