How and Why: A Do-it-yourself Guide by Matte Resist
$
12.50
Did you ever want to build your own instruments, grow your own food, create a bicycle, educate your children, organize your things, recycle your stuff, or just live more simply? Me too! So I did it, and then I wrote about it so you can do it too. Not only that, but I also tell you why should bother.
In the "Music" section I cover how to build a canjolele (cookie tin banjo), cigar box guitar, mountain banjo, and 2 types of kalimbas. I also show you how to make your own piezo pickup, and how to wind a magnetic pickup so you can electrify your instruments.
In the bicycle section there are plans for a trailer, a sidecar, a basket, a repair stand, and a recumbent, as well as information on converting your bike to a single speed or fixed gear, and winter biking. There's a section on gardening which includes composting, raised bed gardening, companion planting, seed saving and starting among other things. There are also sections on homeschooling, home and garage, and an "everything else" section.

CANJO SONGBOOK - Play Canjo By Number
$
3.00
The book has over 50 well known traditional folk songs
(including Working on the Railroad, Home on the Range, Amazing Grace,
Camptown Racers, O' Christmas Tree, etc.) that you can play "by
number." There is no need to know notes, or understand
music. Each word has a number over it. You just hold down the string
at that fret and pluck the string. Even young children can learn to play
on this instrument. In fact my children started figuring out songs on
their own after just a couple days of playing.
