A great resource. All the back issues for reference!

I've always enjoyed learning how craftsmen solved problems. This book sounds like a good learning tool.

Caution must be used any time you strike two pieces of metal together. This is especially true with hardened steel objects. I have seen many workers requiring the services of a doctor or nurse because a piece of steel flew off a tool and lodged in their skin or eye. This is one of the reasons you are taught to grind the heads of your chisels if they are mushroomed. This condition invites a spall to break off and possibly injure someone. Always wear the proper clothing and safety equipment.
