Since its first publication in 1975, R.A. Salaman's Dictionary of Woodworking Tools has come to be recognized as a definitive pioneering reference work, one of unparalleled value to craftsmen, collectors, antique dealers and all who are interested in the subject of woodworking tools and their uses. His rich language describes and explains the tools, not only of the more obvious woodworking trades (such as the cabinetmaker, chairmaker, joiner, coachbuilder, cooper, shipwright, plane maker, wheelwright and instrument maker) but of the less obvious trades as well, such as broom and brush makers, tree feller, hoop maker, upholsterer, millwright, coffin maker and window maker. The present edition is a substantial enlargement of the original work, revised and updated by Philip Walker, himself an authoritative historian-collector of tools. 546 pages. Thousands of illustrations. 7" x 10". Soft cover.

Tools at the tip of the finger.,

This review is from: Dictionary of Woodworking Tools (Paperback)
This is just what I have been looking for. I think the author did a great job of finding sources to flesh out the dictionary that include not only descriptions, but interesting and accurate historical illustrations. I was particularly impressed with the pages on adzes, and the cross-referencing. This volume will remain at hand in my workshop.
