Salaman's Dictionary of Woodworking Tools is great.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dictionary of Woodworking Tools C. 1700-1970 and Tools of Allied Trades (An International Craft Classic) (Paperback)
Salaman's Dictionary of Woodworking Tools (c1700-1970) is a comprehensive, well illustrated reference work. This is not a short work - this is the unabridged dictionary, covering the wide range of items used by tradesmen working in wood. The Revised Edition (1989) is a substantial extension of the original.
The coverage is mostly the British Isles, Canada, and the United States, with mention of medieval and ancient antecedents, and occasional mention of Japanese or Chinese equivalents. The European continent is not so well covered; e.g., I failed to find a particular joiner's clamp used in the German States in the early 1800s. The material is well organized - if it's in there, you can find it!
