Customer Reviews

A fabulous reference book

I bought this book for a great reference to tools that I see in antiques stores. It's perfect. Very descriptive and the correct names for each tool.

As described!

We collect ancient and antique tools and neither of us can believe these prices. It's all about market and location however. Great book for library as comparison and guide.

Best tool guide so far but still hoping for something better

This is an excellent book for collectors and just folks who like tools. Like the others mentioned I only wish it was indexed or set up so that a person could look up a specific tool. It is still the best I have seen and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about tools and looking at the excellent photos. It does not tell you much about the history or application of the tools. There are other books that do this. This author/editor has written a book that is for those of us who already know something about tools.

Early Joiners Tools

Excellent photos and descriptions of a huge range of joiners tools and equipment - really interesting.

his favorite new book

I purchased this book for my boyfriends birthday. He is very interested in old tools, and old things in general. He Loves it. He takes it out to the machine shed and compares tools, or just glances at the pages in the evenings. The two largest sections are those on plumb bobs and planes.
