Disston Lumberman Handbook - Containing a Treatise of the Construction of Saws and How to Keep Them in Order Henry Disston

This early work on saws is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains details on the construction of a variety of saws and also the methods of their maintenance such as sharpening. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in the manufacturing of saws. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
