In his second book Underhill has done it again-- written a folksy and yet information-packed text. (You'll have to pick up a copy to find out the meaning of "whimsy-diddling.")

Here's his view on sharpening and a variety of techniques and projects. The final chapter focuses on the housbuilding techniques still in use in Colonial Williamsburg. A classic.
