The Crowood Press Ltd Sharpening Common Workshop Tools
Book SynopsisUsing sharp tools is one of life's great joys. A sharp tool feels right; the job seems that much easier; and the quality of the cut usually means there is less work to do to produce a finished surface on the object. This book provides an understanding of what is involved in sharpening common workshop tools. With over 580 colour photographs and illustrations it covers sharpening techniques for the most commonly used tools - scissors, shears, knives, lathe tools and drills, screwdrivers, chisels and punches, along with the more specialist gravers and scrapers. Advice on types of abrasives, grades, grits and mesh sizes is given. It describes what happens during the sharpening process and provides practical guidance on using sharpening stones and grinding wheels on a bench grinder. Provides essential maintenance instructions such as how to restore the surface of a flat stone and the face of the wheel on a bench grinder. Finally, it gives advice on bench grinders, and includes examples of the use of readily available tools and accessories such as vee blocks, toolposts, collet holders, protractors and gauges.Trade ReviewThe seasoned model engineer will find the book a useful tome of reference with good quality photographs avoiding any possible misunderstanding of the contents. Bound between board covers, the book is well presented and should be regarded as one for the workshop where it makes a useful reference source for many of the sharp tools found not only there but also about the house. -- D A G Brown * Model Engineer *

Abrams Vanishing Fleece
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewGiven my hatred of puns, I absolutely do not want to say Clara Parkes spins an incredible yarn, but how else to describe this incredible book? Parkes is the Marc Kurlansky of wool! -- John Hodgman * actor, humorist, and author of Vacationland *“While I laughed and loved Clara's prose, I was left with so much more. It's actually a lovely and melancholy look at an American industry that's quickly changing, and a beautiful story of the people who are sacrificing to maintain it." -- Judy Greer * actor, director, and author of I Don't Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a Co-Star *“Long before social media cluttered every corner of our existence, Parkes’s conversational 411 about new yarns and interesting pattern designs forged connections among far-flung knitters, who discovered they were a global community rather than lone practitioners of a cozy hobby they’d learned from Mom.” -- Kathy Blumenstock * The Washington Post *“Quite possibly the only writer you will ever read who can make a discussion of micron counts absolutely riveting.” -- Mary Mooney * The Oregonian *
