   I'm a big hand tool user and a big book worm. When you combine those two loves of mine, this woodworker is in heaven. Thanks for the chance to win the book....

   Since I buy so many books from Taunton Press and I really need help with hand tools this would be a great addition for me.

   I thoroughly enjoy reading these books, and Andy does a great job writing. Always looking for a chance to add to my library - and pick up something useful to use in the shop.

    I'm mainly a 'machine man' but some advice on using hand tools would be really useful.

    Does it cover the flint and copper tools I'm still using? ;-)

    You can't have too many hand tools.

    I believe I'm due for a win; if not, this looks like one I might buy anyway. Books and tools, tools and books, these are why my wallet looks so empty.

    hi,
    how to use handtools would be most useful.

23. 
    fritzfratz | May 18, 2009 11:39am | #23

    I seldom use hand tools because I've never really been taught how to use them. Andy Rae is a great writer and teacher so this book would really help me!

    Sure, I'll go in for a chance to win.

    When are we going to see a reprint of "The Essential Woodworker?" Used-book prices on this one are crazy.

    granite36 | May 18, 2009 04:36pm | #33

    I'm hoping to get some ideas on the ideal turning tools and chisels.

    Being one of the many beginning to have an interest in owning and using more hand tools, I think this would be a good book to have. And winning one would be even better.

36. 
    D11RDozer | May 18, 2009 05:33pm | #36

    I could certainly use the information that book is sure to provide. That and I could make a replica of the tool cabinet on the cover to enter the tool cabinet contest! :-)

    woodrae | May 18, 2009 06:09pm | #37

    My apologies, Ralph. No copper or flint. However, there's plenty of brass, bronze, steel and rosewood in the pages. Good luck!

    There is always time to learn more about hand tools.
    Hope this book will do this.

    JLYoung | May 19, 2009 03:18pm | #42

    I've thumbed through this book several times and it's full of great stuff and beautiful pictures. I'd love to have a copy for myself. Count me in!

    Sounds good...

    Boomer1001 | May 19, 2009 07:48pm | #44

    Sounds like a great book. As with all hand tools, precision comes with usage. Ones muscles must learn the nuance of the tool, like riding a bike. I am interested in the discussion of precision cuts. How the old masters did by hand what we use machines to do today.

    Tyblack | May 20, 2009 09:07pm | #45

    This looks like a great book i never know what is the best hand tool to use

    MasterSarge | May 21, 2009 02:55am | #46

    I have a small collection of hand planes that I haven't even started to tune up, yet alone use. Hoping to find the time!

    Matthew Lawrence | May 21, 2009 01:31pm | #47

    Books and tools. Tools and books. Even better, book about tools. I'd love a copy. Thanks.

    This would be a great addition to the High School Wood Shop Library. So far I have had three freshman ask "What's a Hammer" when I asked them to bring me one. 'nuff said.
