Thanks for the nice remarks folks. Freeborn's book is such a treasure
and even Freebon tool only had a copy of a copy. It seemed a shame to
see it lost. I had a request for other books. The following might be
worth considering.

There is a book "Chisels on the Wheel" by Effner that is supposed
to be very good. I can't find a copy. If you find two let me know,
please.

Some books that are highly recommended and generally considered worth
purchasing are
Circular Saws by Eric Stephenson
Fundamentals of Tool Design from SME
Saws by Williston
Machinery's Handbook from Industrial Press
Complete Guide to Sharpening by Lee of Lee Valley Veritas
Pocket Ref from Sequoia Publishing

For metal working - there are some really good catalogs out there
such as NTK, Kennametal and Greenleaf.

Tom:

I just wanted to publicly thank you for sending the book. I'm reading it
and, as a novice, don't understand some of it but I'm working on it.

Thanks,
Jay
