the other poll was started as this one was too general, the other poll specifies furniture and cabinet making books only.Originally posted by Barry_White
By the way there are two polls running at the moment on the same thing.
TOO MANY POLLSGreat minds discuss ideas,

The handplane book by Garrett Hack is also an excellent book for Neanderthals like myself. Bought it on the weekend and it is full of information and history about hand planes.

I've got a copy of the first "Polishers Handbook" from 1991 all 40 pages of it. I also have a copy of the latest edition over 200 pages. I would class it as the best most useful book I have ever owned, along with an old and very used copy of "The Practical Mans Book Of Things To Make And Do" published by the Sun News Pictorial some time in the 1940's. This one has helped me with everything from making furniture for my home to setting up my workshop.
My vote is for Polishers Handbook, making 25 but it looks like there are others who didn't vote for it who would have if it had been included initially. I reckon the count should be 28 and well deserved.
