The Handplane Book

No other tool is as synonymous with woodworking and craftsmanship as the hand plane - and no other book has become as synonymous with outstanding coverage of this topic than The Hand Plane Book. Author Garrett Hack is both an avid tool collector and a professional woodworker. His vast experience and unprecedented research have made this a volume that is not only full of fascinating history and background information, but also have made it an invaluable reference and guide to the various types of planes - how to buy them, tune them, and, most of all, how to use them. Over 260 pages full of hundreds of color photographs, diagrams, and illustrations. USA origin.
