Here are some books we have on using old tools and old crafts. I'm not sure how many are still in print we got most of ours at an Anchorage used books store. You may be able to find them on eBay or your local used book store.
How to work with tools and wood published by Stanley Tool Co. 1942 Very good directions and pictures on sharping many tools including hand saws.
Country Woodcraft By Drew Langsner published by Rodale Press 1978 Tells how to make and use a lot of tools like a spring pole lathe, shaving horse, wooden rakes, bow-saws, pitch forks. Also some on basket making and misc. farm implements
Country Craft Tools By Percy W. Blandford published by Funk & Wagnalls 1974 Uses a lot of old hand tools.
Old Ways of Working Wood By Alex W.Bealer published by Castle Books 1996 Old hand tools and wood working information.
