Have you ever wondered, how all the wonderful objects in our museums were made? The masterly use of hand tools by our ancestors would probably be at the core of the answer. Often those skills and particularly the tools that were used have been left out of the limelight though. Are you interested in; hand tools and making objects, collecting, crafts and trades, material culture, museum studies, social history, folk art? If the answer is 'yes' to any one of these topics, this publication may pique your curiosity!

The tools illustrated within this book may provide refreshing alternatives to this. Take a closer look at these examples of craftsmanship from our collective past.
