Now that would be a great gift for young GIT's (Galoots in Training)!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing. <BR/><BR/>AAAndrewAAAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06861339441094562289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-32182936012585594182008-09-04T19:59:00.000-08:002008-09-04T19:59:00.000-08:00Oh, I forgot!

Of course I don't make things the same way, but I really like the illustrations and have gotten some good ideas out of that book. Teague's cradle was a combination of an old country piece in <I>American Country Furniture 1780 - 1875</I> and the "Shaker" design in the workshops book. Glad you liked it!

He: And you didn't think I could do it, did you?" Hey wait a minute - I just noticed that it's dark outside the window, junior is nowhere to be seen, and they are sitting in the romantic glow of that single overhead light bulb. Must be "The Woodshop - After Dark!"<BR/><BR/>Keith - I agree - very surprising. Of course it could just be that they were trying hard to protect the sales of their hand tools. But I honestly don't think so. I am sure that was part of it, but it really does seem like it was written by someone who deeply cared about woodworking with hand tools. Or maybe I just "hear" what I want to...Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-68632497011460064842008-09-04T11:39:00.000-08:002008-09-04T11:39:00.000-08:00Dan - what a find!

Very interesting and surprising that even back then, as society moved towards mass produced items, that Stanley was trying to being attention to the idea that hand made objects are important.
