Book of the Week: Hand Tools

25 Dec 2014

hand_tools Continuing on my woodworking binge, the next book is Hand Tools: Their Ways and Workings. If you’re doing traditional woodworking without power tools, then you need to know how to use the various hand tools that exist. It is amazing how many forms wood and steel can take. Some of the sections of the book on rulers, sandpaper and the screwdriver were unnecessary filler. The illustrations were nice, but you’re probably better off watching youtube videos and getting really specific books on workbenches and hand planes. Purchase Hand Tools from Amazon.com or check it out from your local library.
