PDF: How To Make Woodwork Tools by Charles Hayward

How To Make Woodwork Tools by Charles Hayward Download PDF Possibly the most famous book by Charles Hayward and Evans Bros. Publishing. Clearly laid out plans for making the hand tools necessary for traditional woodworking. Most are of a decidedly British design, which is to be expected. All are essential hand tools: planes, measuring and marking devices, bench holding devices, etc. Best of all, this is a free download. Get new posts by email: Subscribe Powered by

Instructor: Jointed Toys by Bess Bruce Cleaveland

Jointed Toy Patterns I & II: For Coloring, Cut Out and Construction Work by Bess Bruce Cleaveland, 1920 Free PDF Downloads courtesy SUNY GENESEO "Bess Bruce Cleaveland (1876-1966) was born in Washington Court House, Ohio. She studied art at the Art Students League & Pratt Institute in New York, graduating in 1901. After teaching art for six years, Cleaveland turned to illustrating books, teacher’s magazines, and other commercial art projects. Cleaveland worked in ink and watercolor. Children and animals were her favorite subjects. In addition to drawing most of the cats and dog in Washington Court House, she visited zoos to study and sketch wild animals. Her backyard garden attracted birds, squirrels and rabbits, all of which she sketched." Ohio Memory Collection "Long before magnetic “paper” dolls and interactive walking, talking baby dolls, there was Bess Bruce Cleaveland’s Jointed Toys. Filled with patterns to be copied, enlarged, assembled, and decorated (whe

He was part of the White family of plane makers in Philadelphia. (Father, Jacob White; Uncle, Henry G. White; Brother, George White; Wife/Widow Charlotte were all plane makers.) White worked at "CORNER OF CALLOWHILL & FOURTH St." in Philadelphia and often so marked his planes." Courtesy NoneSuch Tools .

Hermon Chapin, Union Factory • Plane Maker • Click on the Union Factory image for all Chapin Merch at Redbubble • "Hermon Chapin was associated with a number of other Chapins in the toolmaking industry of his time. He began as a part of Copeland-Chapin from 1826-1828, was the brother of Nathaniel Chapin and father to Edward M., George W., and Philip E. Chapman who succeeded him as H Chapin & Sons in 1860.
