The Joiner and Cabinet Maker: His Work and Its Principles by Christopher Schwarz, Joel Moskowitz
4.0
A reprint of an 1839 book about a fictional Joiner's apprentice named Thomas. This was part of a series of books describing various trades.
The original text is a fun read but the addition of chapters after that section really elevate the book. Thomas builds three projects and after the original text Chris Schwarz walks us through building each in a more modern "how to" style.
This book could easily serve as a basic course in hand tool work if supplemented by a few other sources, Wearing for instance.
