Classic Hand Tools: A celebration in word and picture - Hack
Before the machine age - all wood working was done with hand tools - and an amazing variety of tools evolved for a wide range of tasks. Even today - with machinery available for most woodworking operations - some tasks are more easily and effectively accomplished by hand. Many of these tools are as elegant as they are ingenious - and Classic Hand Tools celebrates their rich heritage in word and picture.
Both beautiful and practical - Classic Hand Tools reveals the rich variety and history of hand tools through vivid color photos while providing in-depth information on how to integrate their use into modern woodworking. In this book - anyone who works with wood will discover how to use these tools - how to choose the right ones for the job - and how to tune them up properly. Along the way - the reader will discover the benefits of using hand tools -- less dust and dirt - more quiet - and - surprisingly - more efficiency.
