If you don't like the polls, don't open them. Simple. The polishers bible for me thanks.
Dan
Encyclopedia of Furniture Making - Ernest Joyce
Polishers Handbook
Keith Bootle's book on Australian trees
- Wood Borer
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.
- Wood Borer
The Complete Illustrated Guide to Joinery - Greg Rogowski
and of course, The Polisher's Handbook.
Both fabulous books.

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.
