This is a soft cover book by Scott Wynn.  Woodworker's Guide to Handplanes teaches woodworkers how to choose, maintain, and use this indispensable hand tool.  This essential reference outlines the important differences among all the major styles and explains the many nuances of each, from the standard Stanley-Bailey-Record planes and traditional wood-bodied planes to the contemporary designs from Veritas, Lie-Nielsen, and Clifton.  This book also details how any wooodworker can make-and precisely tune-their own wood-bodied plane along with the fixtures needed to maximize its performance.  Best of all, this intelligent book features more than 300 original drawings and 200 photos that are as technically rich as they are beautiful.    This book is shipped free via USPS  media mail.
