Wodan,

> I was the guy who encouraged the reprint of the Mastermyr

> I looked for a Mastermyr book for two years before Norm

> This is the biggest single survival of tools from medieval
> times. Most other books on medieval tools are rare and
> expensive. I paid $240 for Vikingetidens Redskaper by
> Jan Petersen (Viking Age Implements (tools) (from Norway))
> for example. By comparison Mastermyr is an incredible bargain.

> The English Medieval Chests book and the Ancient Locks

> and the Caber Press. Look on the pdf flyer for the English
> Medieval Chests reprint, which has measurements and details,
> and rubbings of original carvings on them. A dozen would
> make excellent Xmas gifts for everyone. They sell well too.
> I got rid of two dozen in a couple of days.
> He sells them at discount by the dozen if you care to profit.
> If you want to make a medieval chest and want a good
> idea of how they were put together than this is the
> book for you. It covers initially two centuries but
> the additional plates cover the next two or three.
