Manual on Sharpening Hand Woodworking Tools

Written and published as a shop manual for students in woodworking and industrial arts classes in rural schools. Drawings and simple instructions show how to grind and sharpen chisels, plane irons, saws, augers, knives, axes, and screwdrivers. Many of the illustrations are clear and complete enough to be used without the text. Includes simple explanations of types of steel used in hand tools, and an illustrated glossary of sharpening terms. An excellent low-cost teaching tool and reference.
