Dictionary of Woodworking Tools by R. A. Salaman is a comprehensive reference work that has become a cornerstone for craftsmen and collectors alike since its first publication in 1975. This substantial enlargement, revised and updated by Philip Walker, covers an extensive range of woodworking tools and their uses, from the more obvious trades to lesser-known crafts such as broom and brush making, tree felling, and upholstery. The book provides detailed descriptions and explanations of over 1,000 tools, including those used in cabinetmaking, chairmaking, joinery, coaching, shipbuilding, and other related trades. This authoritative guide is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of woodworking. With its extensive coverage and meticulous research, this dictionary is a must-have for serious collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of traditional crafts.
