I’m wanting to build a project using hand tools alone. But first I want to build a few jigs and guides (shooting boards, bench hooks, etc) to help me with accuracy and speed. I’ve found a few things in various places on the net but not in a single place. A book such as “Hand Tool Jigs” would be nice.

If you find one, please post the info here. I'd like to get my hands on it too. I need to make a few shooting boards myself. Don't know if these two are among the ones you found, but I came across these a few months ago doing the same searching you're going through.

If you build it he will come.
Speedy,
I found David Charlesworth books of great help...you might want to check with the library....

Another great source for jigs and fixtures from a guy who used to teach woodworking in college - try Robert Wearing's books "The Resourceful Woodworker", "The Essential Woodworker" and the now out of print "Making Woodwork Aids and Devices"
