Toolmaking is a book category focused on the design, fabrication, maintenance, and evolution of tools, spanning artisanal craft to modern manufacturing. Titles typically cover materials and processes—woodworking, metalworking, forging, casting, machining, grinding, heat-treating, sharpening, metrology, jig and fixture design, and emerging methods like CNC and 3D printing—along with shop setup, safety, and precision techniques. The genre blends practical, project-based guides and plans with histories and case studies that trace how tools shape technology and culture. Readers include makers, woodworkers, machinists, blacksmiths, engineers, educators, and DIY enthusiasts seeking to build tools (and tools for making tools), improve accuracy and durability, and apply rigorous problem-solving and design thinking to hands-on work.
