Hand Work in Wood by William Noyes
William Noyes' 1910 book, Hand Work in Wood, is a wonderful record of woodworking in a time when there were few power tools in use and most woodworking was still painstakingly done by hand.
He includes 75 illustrations of joints commonly used by craftsmen at the time. We have scanned them for you to view and keep as a reference.
