Fireplaces & How to Make Them

Make any environment cozier with this detailed guide to building your own fireplace. Whether the materials you have at hand are bricks and mortar or mud and sod, Fireplaces & How to Make Them brings timeless guidance from famed 19th and 20th century frontiersman and engineer Daniel Carter Beard into the present day. With in-depth descriptions, step-by-step instructions, and copious diagrams, this zine walks you through everything you need to know to craft your own fireplace (and safely tend fires in it) using simple, cheap, and amply available supplies. Though the author originally claimed "the fairer sex" couldn't properly build fires, femmes and thems can show him a thing or two by employing this otherwise very useful and droll zine to build their own fireplace creations.
