Hands working a chisel along the grain, a jack plane with every part labeled, the anatomy of a wood screw drawn out like a specimen. Mack M. Jones wrote Farm Shop Practice as a University of Missouri textbook for keeping a farm running without calling in a tradesman. It covers carpentry and tool sharpening, and also blacksmithing, concrete, and harness and rope work. Each chapter closes with study questions, so you can tell it once lived in a classroom. The advice still holds up, and the spine looks good on a workshop shelf, in a study, or in a farmhouse library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Author | Mack M.
