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.
