Whether you?re a toolroom apprentice from another era or just an enthusiast of arcane industrial manuals, this book is your passport to the nuanced world of bastard cuts, half-rounds, and precision filing techniques?with diagrams so crisp they?ll make you want to grab your nearest bench vise and get to work. Creaking spine? Musty smell? Slightly bent cover? Of course. It?s from Crappy Old Books?where function triumphs over freshness. NOTE: Cover is not bent at all!! FAKE DESCRIPTION. Its quite nice actually and not warped or twisted at all.
