《木工手册（Metcalfe 编）》· The Woodworker’s Handbook · Peter Metcalfe（主编）· Marshall Publishing 1998

这是一本把一个木匠从选料到成品要遇到的所有问题，按工序逐页讲完的百科全书式手册。全书由 Marshall Editions 组织编写、Peter Metcalfe 主编，1984 年由 Pelham Books 在英国初版，本册是 Marshall Publishing 1998 年的重印本。它的编写背景与伦敦东区、与伦敦家具学院（后并入 Guildhall University）渊源很深——那里是英国家具制作与木作手艺的中心之一，因临近码头与运河而原料充足；书中的”正式感”正来自这批学院派的作者。

结构上它是一本连续的图解教程而不是散文读物：每一页都被插图塞满，一个工序拆成若干个连续小图，配以简短文字说明。从原木的采伐、制材、干燥开始，讲清木材为什么会翘、会裂、会被真菌和虫蛀；接着规划工坊、做工作台、配工具箱；再进入划线、测量、用规、锯、磨锯与各种电锯（曲线锯、带锯、圆锯、台锯、摇臂锯、修边机、多功能机床）；然后集中讲授刨、凿、锉与刮刀。

接合部分是全书最有分量的段落：对接与斜接、裁口接与搭接、半搭接、横纹槽接、榫卯（简单榫卯、专用榫卯、带台榫）、燕尾榫的画线与开凿、拼板边接、圆棒榫接合，以及人造板的加工与接合、框架组装、胶粘剂和异形构件。之后是涂装——木皮、拼花木皮（parquetry）、填孔、染色、法式抛光（虫胶）、不可逆涂料与合页五金；最后是成组的家具项目（威尔士碗柜、厨柜、餐边柜与展示柜、游戏桌、折叠餐桌、餐桌椅、折叠小几、书桌、蛇形五斗柜、床、写字台、边几），以及木材种类图鉴与术语表。

书末的木材部分按树种逐条列出”树、木色与品质、技术档案、用途”四栏，是查料时的实用速查表。
