Squares, gauges, clamps and planes are among the tools whose construction is described and illustrated in detail in this book, tools which are equally suitable for use in large training institutions or in small workshops. There is also useful guidance on the maintenance and repair of woodworking tools, with additional repair techniques included in this edition.<BR>This revised edition incorporates an appendix describing modifications arising from training programmes in Zimbabwe and approved by the original author. The new designs include a combination gauge, and a sash clamp which can be used on the ground instead of on a bench. Other modifications described here include a knob for the jack plane, which many carpenters prefer, and a plywood sole plate for the plough plane. They are included in addition to the original designs to increase the choice of tools available.
