A must-read e-book on elementary Swedish woodworking techniques.

This 1892 book is amazing, along the lines of Eric Sloan's "A Reverence For Wood"

Thanks for posting this William, I love reading old texts on woodworking crafts, they can teach us what may have been lost due to "modern practices" and often become very helpful. [thumbs up]
Just skimmed it now but will be reading through later in the week when time permits.

Regards, Rob.

Thanks for posting!  Eric Sloan's books are fantastic (especially a Reverence for Wood) and the book in the link is its equal.
