I was catching up on my email and noticed that the book depository is ofering 10% off all orders until the end of December 2009. There’s only a few days left to take advantage of this promotion, but I though I’d share it.

With 10% discount and free shipping I’m adding a couple titles to my collection of woodworking books.

Making and Mastering Wood Planes

David Finck’s book on wooden planes is without doubt one of the best books on the subject and well worth buying if you’re a hand tools enthusiast like me.

The book if well structured and takes you through the steps of building and using the Krenov style wooden planes from start to finish.

It does not give specific dimensions and drawings but rather takes the approach of giving you the information you need to design and build any plane you want.

This revised edition is full of color photos which take it a step further, making it more comprehensive and pleasing to the eye.
I can not recommend this book too highly!
