4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting book
The Author does a fine job of artistically photographing and describing a wide variety of rare tools. A veritable smorgasboard for the senses. I only wish I could reach into the photos and hold and examine the tools.

Not a great read or reference.
Do not buy this book. Purchase Hand Planes by Garrett Hock, or The Fine Art of Tools by Sandor Nagyszalanczy. These two books would serve you better in you woodworking future. They are both better reads with much greater information. This is a watered down version of the two. With uninspiring photos.

A continuation of a classic,

"Fine Tools" is a classic book and this second book of a similar nature is a fitting and excellent sequel. As a certified "tool nut", I found this book as interesting and informative as the earlier volume while expanding a bit from the earlier effort. Another treasure for my library. Highly recommended.

I bought this book as a gift for my father. It was the perfect gift for the man who owns just about every tool out there. He absolutely loves this book, the photos are great and it's a very well done book.

I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my husband. He absolutely loves it. Even I thought that the photographs were spectacular, although I normally have no interest in tools whatsoever. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who has a love for great craftsmanship.
