Originally published in 1880, this work was intended to be a primer on the former State of the Art in the application of power to the processing of timber. Every aspect of machine woodworking is covered, but the subtitle "with hints on the management of saw mills and the economical conversion of lumber" accurately prepares the reader for the focus of the work. Illustrated with superb period engravings that are complemented by a thoroughly readable, informative and interesting text, Woodworking Machinery offers the reader a glimpse of a nearly forgotten time when the Great American Forest drove nearly every aspect of manufacturing and commerce.
