Projects ~ Tools & Ideas for things to make/sell:
These are plans and projects similar to those found on (but not included in) the Anti-Recession DVDs. We didn't see any point and having you purchase something that was already made available on the site for free. The titles these projects are extracted from are, or will be made, available in the "Rebuilding Civilization" files, as we rarely post a book or manual in it's entirety.
