In 'The Boy Scouts of Woodcraft Camp' by Thornton W. Burgess, readers are transported to a world of adventure and camaraderie as a group of Boy Scouts navigate the challenges of camp life. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book combines elements of outdoor survival, friendship, and personal growth. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, Burgess's work captures the spirit of the Boy Scout movement and its emphasis on character development and exploration of the natural world. Thornton W. Burgess, a renowned naturalist and children's book author, drew inspiration from his own experiences in nature and his passion for conservation. His deep appreciation for the wilderness shines through in 'The Boy Scouts of Woodcraft Camp,' as he instills valuable lessons about teamwork and respect for the environment. I highly recommend 'The Boy Scouts of Woodcraft Camp' to readers of all ages who enjoy tales of adventure, friendship, and the great outdoors. Burgess's timeless storytelling and insightful themes make this book a classic choice for anyone seeking a captivating and meaningful read.

After two New York Times bestsellers, Nick Offerman—woodworker, actor, comedian, and co-host of NBC’s crafting competition series Making It—returns with the subject for which he’s known best—his incredible real-life woodshop. Nestled among the glitz and glitter of Tinseltown is a testament to American elbow grease and an honest-to-god hard day’s work: Offerman Woodshop. Captained by hirsute woodworker, actor, comedian, and writer Nick Offerman, the shop produces not only fine handcrafted furniture, but also fun stuff—kazoos, baseball bats, ukuleles, mustache combs, even cedar-strip canoes. Now Nick and his ragtag crew of champions want to share their experience of working at the Woodshop, tell you all about their passion for the discipline of woodworking, and teach you how to make a handful of their most popular projects along the way. This book takes readers behind the scenes of the woodshop, both inspiring and teaching them to make their own projects and besotting them with the infectious spirit behind the shop and its complement of dusty wood-elves. In these pages you will find a variety of projects for every skill level, with personal, easy-to-follow instructions by the OWS woodworkers themselves; and, what’s more, this tutelage is augmented by mouth-watering color photos (Nick calls it "wood porn"). You will also find writings by Nick, offering recipes for both comestibles and mirth, humorous essays, odes to his own woodworking heroes, insights into the ethos of woodworking in modern America, and other assorted tomfoolery. Whether you’ve been working in your own shop for years, or if holding this stack of compressed wood pulp is as close as you’ve ever come to milling lumber, or even if you just love Nick Offerman’s brand of bucolic yet worldly wisdom, you’ll find Good Clean Fun full of useful, illuminating, and entertaining information.
