Making Small Workshop Tools is a hands-on guide to tool making for the home workshop, originally written by Stan Bray and thoroughly revised by Stewart Hart. Featuring more than 20 practical projects, this updated 2nd edition shows how to turn saved odds and ends into timesaving, cost-effective, and professional-grade workshop tools that are satisfying to make and useful to keep close at hand.

Each project includes step-by-step instructions supported by full working drawings, photographs, and figures to make every stage clear to follow. Designed for beginners but still valuable for more experienced readers, the projects focus on practical metal work and workshop problem-solving, with none taking more than 4 hours to complete, typically within just 3 to 4 hours.
