Lessons from a Master Carpenter
by Norm Abram
Little, Brown, 1996
Comments: I grew up in a family of carpenters and from an early age developed an almost reverent appreciation for tools. This book, by perhaps America's best known TV woodworker, celebrates and reinforces those values. It presents a series of profiles on specific tools, with their history, applications, and tips for use, along with numerous anecdotes from Abrahms colorful history as a builder. If the smell of sawdust quickens your pulse, this book is probably for you.
