Review: Intended for a gift; I'm confident it will please. - When I first saw the book I was disappointed, because I was expecting a much bigger book. It is intended as a gift for my husband, who collects antique tools and is interested in how they were used, as well as interested in using the techniques himself. I didn't see how the book could contain all the information it said it did. But when I looked inside, I was happily surprised. The paragraphs seem very detailed and full of information, and the line drawings are clear and concise. I will not get a chance to read the book, as it is a gift, but I am proud to be giving it to my husband.
Review: A time honored craft indeed - This book can be the start of a great hobby that will reward you with truly handcrafted products. It will give you a lot of respect for the wooden furniture of the olden days and also even more respect for the power tools we use today. If you love woodworking then I can not recommend this book more highly as it will show you it all began. There is something special about working wood with a hand tool into a fine piece of furniture that will make a great addition to your home. I was very pleased with how information is presented in this book and it is very easy to read and understand.

*by A***N on September 6, 2017*

This book is a nice overall survey and is useful for both those who are lightly interested in the subject as well as those who are interested in a place to start a whole exploration of the subject. Alex Bealer also has a book on blacksmithing for those who lean that way. Overall, a very good starter book, or even a nostalgia book for those of us who remember country living. Recommended , of course. See also, Eric Sloane.
