The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Woodworking Handtools, Devices
& Instruments is the first volume in Graham Blackburn’s
paperback Illustrated Workshop series. It’s a comprehensive
pictorial index of the woodworking handtools common in the Western
civilization from eighteenth century to the present. Not only a
fascinating record of trades and skills – from cabinetmakers to
wheelwrights – in an age before powertools became the norm, The
Illustrated Encyclopedia of Woodworking Handtools is also a
remarkable tribute to man’s technological ingenuity. More than
600 tools are listed and described, both alphabetically and fully
cross-referenced for easy access, from the adze, awl, bevel, and
bit to the wrest, yardstick, and zig-zag rule, complete with
explicit definitions, interesting etymologies, and fascinating
historical information. This classic reference contains more then
570 of Blackburn’s trademark detailed line-drawings, accompanied
by an expert’s authoritative text. Whether used a handy guide
book to identify a tool and its use, or read simply for enjoyment,
this book stands along in capturing the sophisticated beauty and
inventiveness of woodworking handtools.
