Apparently at the turn of the last century Amateur Work Magazine wanted to be the equivalent of England's Model Engineer or today's Home Shop Machinist magazine. Every month the subscriber received a magazine describing interesting projects and how-to. I don't think this compares to Model Engineer in quality neither then nor now. But nevertheless, there were some very interesting articles offered.
These are the best articles from 1904 issues, and there's something here for every one. From acetylene generators and crystal detectors to hand milling machines and steam turbines.
There are page after page of plans for a light gasoline car with an 80" wheel base driven by a two cylinder engine having a 4" bore and 2" stroke and sliding gear transmission. All the drawings were dimensioned.
Build a dynamo, gas engine spark coils, making electrotypes, soldering, model steamboat and all kind of goodies. All of this is well illustrated, but you would probably need to make some modifications to the plans to build them properly.
