520    From the leading name in the woodworking field comes a 
       luxurious visual dictionary featuring more than 750 
       photographed antique & modern tools. Annotation. "Man is a
       tool-using animal...without tools he is nothing, with 
       tools he is all." -- Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) A 
       spectacular visual dictionary of more than 450 beautifully
       photographed tools, this gorgeous volume presents a 
       dazzling range, from the trusty and familiar hammer and 
       screwdriver to the very handsome ebony or rosewood marking
       gauge that one simply must have to make the most precise 
       marks of where to cut. A spectacular visual dictionary of 
       more than 450 beautifully photographed tools, this 
       gorgeous volume presents a dazzling range, from the trusty
       and familiar hammer and screwdriver to the very handsome 
       ebony or rosewood marking gauge that one simply must have 
       to make the most precise marks of where to cut ... and 
       let's not forget the crosscut saws, ripsaws, tenon saws, 
       dovetail saws, slotting saws, veneer saws, frame saws, 
       bucksaws, bow saws, coping saws, and jeweler's saws needed
       to do the actual cutting. Organized by the three main 
       tasks of tools -- measuring and marking cutting, and 
       assembly and finishing -- Tools gives us the fascinating 
       history of each tool, a basic review of what it does, and 
       a complete breakdown of the various types and models. Plus,
       craftman's tips from the experts at the Garrett Wade 
       Company reveal tricks of the trade used by master 
       craftsmen and point out what to look for when buying new 
       or antique tools. All are splendidly illustrated with 
       specially commissioned photography. A section on the the 
       workshop helps readers organize their own ideal workspace,
       and a micropedia tells readers what tools are the most 
       indispensable for tasks such as woodworking or home repair
       ... and shows readers those least indispensable but most 
       coveted gadgets that would make any tool lover the "talk 
       of the shop." An enthralling and extravagant reference 
       with photographs, descriptions, and tips on how to use 
       more than 450 tools, here is a treasure trove of 
       information on antique and modern tools, from lovingly 
       handcrafted tools like the traditional Japanese red oak 
       hand plane to the best high-tech power tools like the 
       multipurpose power drill. The perfect gift for tool 
       lovers.
