A Must Have for Every Woodworker
Woodworkers often look for books with the latest copyright date to ensure the most up-to-date info, and while this may be true with power tools, woodworking hand tools are timeless. Don't let the 1982 copyright date on this book deter you. The info in this book is timeless. If you think you know all there is to know about hand tools, think again. I find myself going back to this book more than any other woodworking book I own. This book is so well written and illustrated, and incredibly informative, that it should hold a prominent place in every woodworker's library.
Essential reading
Others have praised Watson's book so thoroughly I cannot add anything new and will settle for confirming the many, many accolades Watson has received - and so well deserved, for this book. It is far above and beyond anything else I've seen anywhere. Everyone interested in using hand tools should buy this book before they even buy any tools.
Hand tool essential...
Read the reviews left by others prior to purchasing this book. It certainly delivers. After reading the book itself, I must say it is an outstanding user manual for every hand tool. The pictures are hand drawn, no color pictures, etc. I didn't want pretty pictures anyway. I wanted to know how to use and care for hand tools and this is an excellent guide. I bought several books about hand tools and this is the absolute best I've seen. I am in the process of building the workbench from the appendix plan and am pleased with the design. Highly recommended!
