Great Inventions   

As the old adage says "necessity is the mother of invention," and the cottagers profiled in our Great Inventions section have a real knack for finding a need and fixing it. The terrific thing about the cottage is that it gives you the time and headspace to get out your tools and start puttering. 

Read on and be inspired by these cottage inventors.
