Hello everyone,
I've gotten a bit interested in toolmaking. While I know very little about blacksmithing, I thought I'd pick up a book and learn a bit more about it.
The two I could find were:
"Tool Making for Woodworkers" by Ray Larsen (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0964399989/qid=1148486761/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-5932768-3191132?s=books&v=glance&n=283155)
and
"Make Your Own Woodworking Tools" by Mike Burton (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1565233069/ref=ord_cart_shr/104-5932768-3191132?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance&n=283155)
Both seem like good introductions to the subject for a greenbean like me. Does anyone else have information on these two books, other references, or experiences doing this?
Many thanks,
Michael
