Toolmakers and Tools

 

 

 

  

"... the tools that were an indispensible part of the meager baggage of the early settlers, the simple implements created by the local blacksmith or produced by the first small manufacturers, the later tools with ingenious improvements and refinements - all were essential to America's surviving and growth."

Paul B. Kebabian
American Woodworking Tools, 1978
