Download Goodman's British Planemakers Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This new edition of the classic reference British Planemakers from 1700 has been completely rewritten, with over 200 pages of new information. Online research tools haven enabled much greater insight into family connections of planemakers, family and business continuities, and the discovery of previously unknown planemakers. Confirmation that planemakers were working in the late 1600s, in fact, inspired the new edition’s title, Goodman’s British Planemakers. The biographic directory covers more than 2400 planemakers and includes 2250 maker's mark illustrations. Like its predecessors, the new edition traces the development of British planemaking, but far more extensively, now confirming that planemakers moved around the country to a much greater extent than previously realized, and identifying several new family planemaking dynasties. The book includes chapters on the planemaking trade and its practices, descriptions and illustrations of the many types of planes and their evolution, and provincial planemaking, as well as sections on apprentice records, trade marks, and a complete index. An absolutely invaluable reference.

Download Iron Spokeshaves and Related Tools Manufactured by Edward Preston & Sons Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Edward Preston & Sons was the most prolific manufacturer of iron spokeshaves in the United Kingdom from approximately 1880 until 1932. This book catalogues the iron spokeshaves and related tools manufactured by Preston. Since original Preston catalogues are not readily available, many Preston tools have been misidentified and many incorrect assumptions about the age of tools have been made. Rare Preston catalogues, price lists, and patents were used to correctly identify Preston spokeshaves and provide an accurate history. Type studies are provided where the design of a particular spokeshave changed over the years that it was manufactured.

Download The Rule Book Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book focuses on the measuring tools used by tradesmen and professionals in their everyday work, on the trades in which specific tools were used and how these tools were made and by whom. The intention is that the information contained here will be of use to collectors and researchers by explaining how the measuring devices were used and by placing them in a trade and social context. No book of this size could hope to describe in detail every type of measuring device so it is those measuring items likely to be found and collected today that have been included. Some are included because they are regularly encountered; others because they reflect important historical trends or developments. Still others pose intriguing intellectual challenges. Finally, many are simply attractive objects. It is a truism that to measure accurately the measure itself must be finely made and in this can lie great appeal. Special features include illustrated appendixes, a checklist of rule makers and dealers, a full index, and separate index of names.
