After reading through all of the versions, we decided to reprint the original edition (with permission, of course). This edition is packed with drawings from Hayward and doesn’t deal much with the metric system, sharpening high-speed steel sawblades or pulley sizes for your machines. In other words, it’s for the woodworker who likes working by hand using fractions, inches and feet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAlso appealing to us is the small size of the book – it literally fits in your back pocket.

Hayward (1898-1998) was the most important workshop writer and editor of the 20th century. Unlike any person before (and perhaps after) him, Hayward was a trained cabinetmaker and extraordinary illustrator, not to mention an excellent designer, writer, editor and photographer. As editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Woodworker\u003c\/i\u003e magazine from 1939 to 1967, Hayward oversaw the transformation of the craft from one that was almost entirely hand-tool based to a time where machines were common, inexpensive and had displaced the handplanes, chisels and backsaws of Hayward’s training and youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt Lost Art Press, we spent almost eight years reprinting five volumes that make up just a small part of the information Hayward published in \u003ci\u003eThe Woodworker\u003c\/i\u003e during his time as editor in chief.
