Gotta get ’em all…

Woodworker Series Evans Publishing
I collect these little books. They were published by Evans Brothers in the 50’s and 60’s. A great set of books, edited by Hayward and others. The Woodworker Handbooks series covers a lot of ground.
Thing is, I’m missing a few, so thought I may as well put the word out and see if anyone has the last ones languishing in their cupboards as I would like to complete the set.
Before you get too excited, these are pretty common, (so don’t book a holiday just yet). I have paid 8UKP for one or two, but in general pay around 5UKP. (I’ve bagged a few on eBay for 99p).
If you have any of the below, please let me know and I can put this current obsession to bed.
Thanks.

Missing ones are:
Timbers for Woodwork
Practical Upholstery
Garden Woodwork
Practical Woodwork
English Period Furniture

*They all need to be in the same series style of the ones shown, ie, the black-banded covers. Good condition please. Wear is ok, tears aren’t.

A spoon collection

From the carved spoon collection of Robin Wood.

Robin Wood
has collected twenty of his favourite spoons and you can see some great shots of them, with a short backstory about each one. It’s a really lovely read, with mentions of Hackney’s own Barn Carder and also Pete Follansbee, to name just a couple. I loved this shot of all the spoons together, some really interesting variations.
