Videos

There are a number of excellent videos on the www - some related to making edge tool, some of their use, and some just of long lost crafts and craftsmen. Many are in black and white, some of the modern ones on YouTube are in colour - some have sound tracks, some not - but in all cases they are worth watching if you have any interest in craftsmanship....
