Re: Wood Working Library

Wow, that is an excellent resource. Some very old text, but I am sure the information is still quite valid.
It would be good to add to our Link Library.
Thanks Mike

Re: Wood Working Library

Shoot, I just like reading old titles like that. Just so how I can see some things never change.

Thanks, Mike.

Thanks Mike, wealth of info there. I was particularly fascinated by the books on pattern making for castings. Amazing how things were done before CNC machining became the norm.
