Summary of Tools of the Trade: The Art and Craft of Carpentry
Jeff Taylor's experience and anecdotes about the art of building make for wonderful reading in this funny yet practical book of essays, now in paperback. With Rich Iwasaki's warm, textured photographs, this is a beautiful book, a perfect gift to share with everyone who enjoys working with classic hand tools.Let me be very clear about this: GET THIS BOOK. You may have an interest in hand tools and carpentry, or you may not. But this is a lovingly written book by a gifted storyteller and wit, and a damn entertaining read! It is about interacting with tools, but it is also the author's memoir of delightful characters he has known: teachers, mentors, and personal heroes. Much more than a "how-to" book, it is about a love for humanity, good humor, and creativity. It reads like a novel--and a good one!
