I think I had that magazine! My uncle gave me his fifteen or so years
collection of them before he went off to WWII. My mother threw them
out after I got married and left home. There were a lot of neat
projects in them. One was a motorized bicycle made with a Briggs and
Stratton engine. It hardly made it up a gentle hill! Another had
instructions on how to build an enlarger, which was part of my
introduction to photography.

The only thing left out was the requirement that the ink be
waterproof ink similar to drafting ink.
Kind of cool to have that resource still available.
