I just ran across my copy. It is about 400 pages of how to make things. I bought it in 2017.
He shows how to make nearly anything and has a lot of techniques.
Keep your eyes open, it is a good coffee table book. SWMBO probably doesn't share that thought.

If you have not seen the book,it is titled "THE WOODWORKER" The Charles Hayward Years: 1939-1967
page numbers 465 through 887

Some entries in the Index are: (just a few)
Woodwork for the Beginner
The way of the grain
How to plane wood
Handling the jack plane
Workshop practice
Drawer making
Fitting doors

If you have never seen this publication, look for it.

Lowell, you know that is part of a 4 volume set from Lost Art Press don't you?

The complete set is quite worthwhile.

I view the Hayward set, from Lost Arts Press, as well as their Robert Wearing reprint, some of the best woodworking purchases I've made. To me, Schwarz's real calling is publishing. The content is great and the printing/binding is superb.

I did, but never looked for the others. I will check it out.
