reviewed The Woodwright's Guide: Working Wood with Wedge and Edge on August 15, 2011 The Woodwright's Guide: Working Wood with Wedge and Edge
Excellent book, and highly recommended. Talks about all manner of working wood with hand tools. It is organized generally from coarse, close to the forest work (starting with felling a tree) all the way through refined cabinetmaking. Along the way it covers log building, hewing timbers from logs, timber frame carpentry, sawing boards from timbers, joinery, woodturning, and furniture making.
It also has several appendices: two with plans for dies to cut wooden screws (one by Andre Roubo and the other by Bergeron, both 18th century French authors), two workbench plans (one by Roubo again, and one by Hasluck), and finally two foot-powered lathes of the authors design.
It is basically a history lesson for how things were before power tools came along (or a how-to manual for someone who want to do things the really old school way).
It was sort of a slow read for me, but only because it covers so much information.
