Published originally in 1907, then revised and enlarged in1927, this is a facsimile edition of the most comprehensive \"how-to-do-it\" book available at that time for every conceivable need in the home, workshop, laboratory, factory, or office. Here are recipes for ginger ale, cosmetics, perfumes, and adhesives; directions for making alloys, wine, and cement; formulas for shoe polish and varnish, mustard and alcohol, enameling, etching, electroplating, and dyes. Find out how to tell a real diamond from a phony diamond. There are magic tricks, trade secrets, and tests for harmful food additives, and methods for making a refrigerator which uses no ice (or electricity)! lf you like to tinker, make things, and save money, you won't be able to put this book down; it will take the mystery out of how to make countless items you never before considered making for yourself. - This was a practical book, not a textbook. Henley's is a tool-kit, a history lesson, and a proof of human ingenuity.This book is a cornucopia of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67756983484704,"sku":"USED0517293072","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91ZKdIRHDZL.jpg?v=1791945844","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-gb\/products\/henleys-formulas-for-home-workshop-0517293072-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
