I have the opportunity to inherit some hand tools from a recently deceased relative of my husband. I have been given the priviledge of entering this individual's workshop and taking my pick of items. I've chosen some tools that I know I need... but there are tools there for which I don't know the purpose. Does anyone out there know of a good web-site or book(s) that I could look at that would describe more obscure handtools and their uses?
Answers:
