Your favorite tool junkie will have a field day with this compendium of rare, handcrafted, and decorative tools. Photographed in color and described in detailed captions are adzes from the 18th century; calipers in the form of women's legs; axe heads with advertisements for Buster Brown shoes and Coca Cola; and an endless parade of plow, rabbet, and molding planes—some made of ivory and sterling silver, others elegant in their ingenuity and finish. Here too are miniature scroll saws and table saws, models submitted for patents, and a presentation level sculpted as a miniature of London's 1903 Kew Bridge.
