Raymond, an avid historian,  is writing an online History of Woodworking, with a particular focus on amateur woodworking.  An ongoing project, the history will consist of a decade-by-decade historical narrative comprising 12 chapters, a glossary of wide ranging woodworking terms including their historical origins, appendices that explore topics related to woodworking history, and selected primary sources  including vintage woodworker’s manuals, catalogs of old hand-held  tools and bench top machines, and historical documents.
