The Historical past of Woodworking Resources by W. L. Goodman, First Edition revealed in 1964 by G. Bell and Sons in London.
www.amazon.com/gp/present-listing/B0007F5HJM/ref=dp_olp_1?s…
(This is my Amazon.com overview)
I got really curious about this ebook whilst looking at Witold Rybczynski’s “A single Fantastic Turn: A Pure History of the Screwdriver and the Screw”. I now am a major admirer of Goodman’s books.
This is a pretty fantastic overview to start knowing the origins of today’s hand resources. A pretty properly researched background of woodworking tools studied from the European tradition. Mr. Goodman’s text has a welcome twist of British wit which make for an entertaining examine.
Handsome output volume with 208 pages and 201 stunning B/W illustrations.
Study of woodworking instruments from historic to present day periods, in eight beneficial sections:
The Axe and the Adze
The Aircraft
The Noticed
Uninteresting Equipment
The Carpenter’s Bench
The Rule
Chisels and Gouges
Miscellaneous Woodworking Applications.
Bibliography
Some British Museums with Displays of Woodworking Applications.
I remarkably advocate reading W.L. Goodman’s other reserve: “British planemakers from 1700” on the historical past of 18th and 19th Century hand-planes in England. Equally volumes enhances just about every many others in several approaches.
