Description
This fascinating, extremely important, and profusely illustrated book was largely responsible for the first great surge of interest in collecting old tools, and the research it inspired continues today. The classic text describes in detail scores of early American tools, and the wooden and metal artifacts made with them. Informally and charmingly written, the book covers building tools and methods; farm and kitchen implements; the tools of curriers, wheelwrights, coopers, blacksmiths, coachmakers, loggers, sawyers, and many other craftsmen of the pre-industrial age.
