Book Reviews of Tools Rare and Ingenious: Celebrating the World's Most Amazing Tools
Book Review: Not a great read or reference.
Summary: 2 Stars
Do not buy this book. Purchase Hand Planes by Garrett Hock, or The Fine Art of Tools by Sandor Nagyszalanczy. These two books would serve you better in you woodworking future. They are both better reads with much greater information. This is a watered down version of the two. With uninspiring photos.
Summary of Tools Rare and Ingenious: Celebrating the World's Most Amazing Tools
Over the centuries, craftsmen have transformed humble objects-drills, saws, planes, and levels-into works of art. This new title expands on Sandor Nagyszalanczy's acclaimed The Art of Fine Tools by offering a world tour of objects that rarely leave the private vaults of collectors. A visual feast of the finest and most beautifully crafted vintage tools ever made, Tools offers engaging facts about their history, function, and manufacture. Collectors and craftsmen will relish the depth of historical and technical information that accompanies each of the over 400 color photographs. Anyone who has ever held a hammer or a saw will marvel at these masterpieces of art and utility.General Books
