Here is a list of publications that I have referenced during my formative woodworking years up to and including now. They are what I consider must reads.
Joseph Moxon
- Mechanick Exercises – “Or, The Doctrine of Handy-works. Applied to the Arts of Smithing, Joinery, Carpentry, Turning, Bricklayery…” – 1703
Roy Underhill’s Publications
- The Woodwright’s Shop – Working Wood with Wedge and Edge
- The Woodwright’s Guide – A Practical Guide to Traditional Woodcraft
Lost Art Press and Chris Schwarz’s Publications
(Any from LAP, but here are some I recommend)
The Anarchist’s Tool Chest 2011 – This is an well written book with all the information you need to build and stock a traditional joiners tools chest.
Workbenches: From Design & Theory to Construction & Use Handplane Essentials
Any of their translations from Andre Roubo
Jennie Alexander & Peter Follansbee
Jim Tolpin
- The New Traditional Woodworker From Tool Set to Skill Set to Mind Set
Aldren A. Watson
Aldren A. Watson is an excellent illustrator and artist. These books are very well written and a big help to anyone starting out in Traditional Woodworking. They are a great reference to experienced woodworkers as well. Get any one (or all) of these books, you can thank me later. Hint: check Abe books, or other book sellers besides Amazon. They can be pretty pricey on Amazon.
