About the book
Originally published in 1941 this is a fascinating look at how to build a variety of workshop tools. The book was published during and after World War II and the idea was to show craftsmen how to cope with shortages of metal and other materials and still build useable machinery. Included are plans for table saws, thickness planer, cordwood saw, hydraulic press, drill presses, jigsaws, and many other handy tools. (From publisher)
