Restoring Antique Tools

Author: Herbert P. Kean
Pages: 122
Cover: Softbound
Dimensions: 6" x 9"
Item #: BK165
Price: $17.95
Normally a shy and reticent man, former auctioneer and long time antique tool collector Herb Kean has finally been persuaded to offer his opinion to others. In "Restoring Antique Tools", Kean articulates a philosophy of restoration and then carefully spells out specific restoration techniques that, with practice, will allow the beginning or advanced collector to transform broken or battered antique tools into those worthy of collection and display. This book, which virtually "gives away the secrets" of tool restoration, will provide insight to all who are interested in antique tools, whether they intend to implement the suggestions contained within or not. Being aware of the tricks of the tool fixer-upper can lead collectors to purchase with a much more practiced eye. Whether it is your intention to make old tools look new again or to be able to tell the difference, "Restoring Antique Tools" will be well worth reading.
