Where did you get it?\"\u003cbr\u003e\"I made it.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"You made it?\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, out of sheet copper in my room last night. That's the way I spend my evenings. And such fun as it is! I enjoy every minute of the time. Mother says I'd work all night if she didn't stop me.\u003cbr\u003e\"I'd like to do something like that. Do you think I could learn to do it?\"\u003cbr\u003e\"I'm sure you could. Do you know the blacksmith around the corner? He taught me how to do this work, and ever so much more. He got me the tools, too. He says every boy can learn to work with metals, so I thought I'd try it. I'll take you around to see him sometime. Come up to my room and I'll show my workshop and all the tools I use.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"It would be mighty nice to know how to do something else besides running an elevator all day.  I get so tired of that. How long would it take me to make a box like this one?\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Not very long if you begin in the right way. I've worked at it only since I left school. The manual training I got there helped me to know how to handle the tools. You had that training, too, and I know it will help you. Here we are, this is my workshop and bedroom. Let's work here together and I'll teach you all I know: how to use the tools and just what to do.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bronson Tweed Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111946109168,"sku":"2940149477920","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149477920_p0.jpg?v=1763717712","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149477920","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
