Product Details - Books - Woodworking Techniques - Traditional Woodworking Handtools

Illustrated with over 400 detailed line drawings, the tools are grouped in major classes, from holding, marking, setting-out, and sawing, through planes, edge tools, and boring tools to striking tools, and bench accessories.  Complete with an annotated select bibliography, lists of tool associations, dealers, and auctions, this fully indexed book, describes not only what these tools were used from and how they wer used, but also, perhaps most importantly, how they may be used by today's woodworker to enrich the technical vocabulary.  Traditional Woodworking Handtools is both a guide for collectors and antique-tool enthusiasts as well as a manual for all woodworkers who would increase their vocabulary of wood-working techniques.
