There is little doubt that Charles H. Hayward (1898-1998) was the most important workshop writer and editor of the 20th century. Unlike any person before (and perhaps after) him, Hayward was a trained cabinetmaker and extraordinary illustrator, not to mention an excellent designer, writer, editor and photographer. The book seeks to reprint a small part of the information Hayward published as editor in chief of »The Woodworker« magazine from 1939 to 1967.

Volume I: Tools
Sharpening, setting out tools and chisels, planes, saws, boring tools, carving, turning, veneering and inlay

Volume II: Techniques
General techniques, miscellaneous tools & techniques

This is however not simply a quick reprint of old magazines. It took eight years to organize, scan, edit and re-edit those articles so that they are now accessible for a future generation of woodworkers.
