At Last!!!
The Anarchist Toolchest by Chris Schwarz - The Modern Day Godfather of hand tool woodworking.
I cant wait to get stuck into this book and I will do my best NOT to review it, as it seems the whole woodworking world and his wife has already done so...
So what else have I been spending money on ...
Just a few stocking fillers from Axminster Tools - not that I wear stockings...
- 2x Large Old fashioned Carpenters Hand Screws
- Veritas Card Scraper set of 4
- Veritas Gimlet set of 7
- Kirschen Burnisher to sharpen the Cabinet Scrapers
- Crown Adjustable Square
- 12" Center Finding Rule
I also purchased a set of 6" and 4" dividers on Ebay. These dividers have a more reliable screw adjustment. I was given my current pair which are from an old trigonometry set that move while in use, unless you are extremely careful with them.
Aside from a few luxury items, I should be able to control my hand tool fetish for a while - at least until I have read about the 50 essential tools in the Anarchist Toolchest...
