Historians of the various tools trades have long wanted a work
specifically on saws and this, the first, is an attempt to match
the detail and scholarship of the best that cover planes, cutlery,
spanners and measuring tools. The author is a frequent writer and
lecturer on saws and the history of their manufacture, and is able
to base his work on 15 years of original research and the building
of a personal collection of saws - probably the largest in the
world - which is housed with the renowned Ken Hawley Collection in
Sheffield's Kelham Island Industrial Museum. Together, these
collections form a unique research base and visitor attraction.
This scholarly book is illustrated with almost 2000 photographs,
the majority by the author, and with its listings of saw makers and
dealers forms the most comprehensive directory to date of British
names in the tool trades.
