Summary

A beautifully illustrated celebration of over 150 essential tools。

A tool is an object with endless possibilities。 Contained within each item is the chance to create， to inspire， to repair and improve。 It's no wonder that scientific studies have shown humans are hardwired to appreciate hardware。

This book is a celebration of both that potential and our reverence， exploring more than 150 incredible tools， their history， their unique appeal and how they are used by creative people to make just about anything。 From the workhorses designed to fuel the industrial revolution to the specialist tools that allow highly-skilled artisans to produce ornate creations， this book shines a light on the most interesting tools found in the workshop of expert craftsman Dom Chinea。 With each entry accompanied by a stunning illustration， this book will become a trusted reference for all creators and craftspeople。

Stunning illustrations throughout by award-winning artist Lee John Philips that highlight the beauty and patina of each tool。
Each profile explains what the tool used， its history， how to care for it and any additional tips/insight Dom has。
The design will have a vintage feel presented in a giftable package with finishes。

A must-read for makers， tinkerers， fixers and creators， Dom Chinea shares his knowledge and enthusiasm for the history and practical uses of tools。

Very basicJust tools of all sorts and learning that each situation has its own tool that can be had to fix the problem at hand。 For the most part， everyone knows that tools are used in different ways thus a hammer for this is used in many situations。 I don't think that you would have many different hammers， unless of course you are breaking concrete: A sledge hammer is different in that case。 But yes， I see the direction of this book and it's nice to know a little something about different tools Very basicJust tools of all sorts and learning that each situation has its own tool that can be had to fix the problem at hand。 For the most part， everyone knows that tools are used in different ways thus a hammer for this is used in many situations。 I don't think that you would have many different hammers， unless of course you are breaking concrete: A sledge hammer is different in that case。 But yes， I see the direction of this book and it's nice to know a little something about different tools， but the matter of fact in this ready is that you won't have all these tools or even remember what is used for what unless you have direct experience from habit。 The book is well put together and I appreciate the effort placed， but at the end of the day it's very basic and I don't see much need for this product anymore。 You can literally get all this information online in a quick article and skip all the information about the tools that have no relevance to what you are working on。 。。。more
