This small book shows with words and pictures exactly what to look for when contemplating the purchase of an old tool. It explains what the tool was used for, how to spot broken parts and how to make it work the way it is supposed to. In some cases it shows the evolution from primitive to modern hand tool. Excellent sections on the many different types of planes from smoothing planes to complicated molding planes. A keeper for future reference.
