Where Every Manual and Masterpiece Begins with Us

Crafting a Legacy in Wood and Metal

Our journey began with a deep passion for woodworking, and over the years, we've incorporated metalworking into our craft. My son and I, along with our family, have built Ozark Woodworker as a sanctuary for craftsmen like us who appreciate quality and knowledge. We don't just sell machine manuals; we offer a piece of our decades-long experience. Whether you are interested in our expertly crafted inlay, custom pens, or our award-winning duck calls, we pour all of our skill and love into each project. And if you need a manual for a machine that's gathering dust, chances are we've meticulously restored one just for you.

Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Machines

Metal & Wood Machine Manuals

When it comes to metal and wood machine manuals, we understand their importance because we've been there. Manuals are more than just instruction booklets; they're the key to unlocking a machine's full potential. By offering a wide range of carefully restored manuals from over 120 manufacturers, we're doing more than selling paper. We're passing on the wisdom and guidance that we've received over the years, ensuring that you can complete your projects safely and efficiently.

Restoring Clarity to Every Page

Elevating the Standard for Machinery Manuals

At Ozark Woodworker, we set a high bar for reproducing machinery manuals. Our curated collection spans over 120 manufacturers, offering an invaluable resource for both industry pros and DIYers. Rather than simply photocopying, we meticulously digitally clean each page to offer you manuals that are both practical and pristine. From popular metal lathes like South Bend and Monarch to milling machines from Bridgeport and Supermax, we've got you covered. Each manual is printed on heavy-duty paper and comb-bound for easy use at your workbench. We've even restored vintage woodworking manuals to near-original condition. Our aim is to provide you with quality, and we're always an email away for any queries you may have.

Crafting Unique Keepsakes with Heart and Skill

Custom Pens and Duck Calls

Expanding on our love for woodworking and metalworking, we ventured into crafting custom pens and duck calls. Each pen we create is a unique piece of art. From the hand-casted acrylic bodies to the intricately mixed colors, every pen tells a story. In the realm of duck calls, our expertise shines as well. Our calls have not only won awards but have also been featured in multiple magazines and books. We've paused duck call production temporarily to focus on expanding our workshop and building new machinery. However, this pause is just the calm before a storm of creativity. We're gearing up to relaunch with an array of new and even more intricate designs.

Crafting for Honor, Building for Generations

Mic-O-Say Claws and Boy Scouts

Our family's commitment to craftsmanship takes a meaningful turn when it comes to serving the Boy Scouts through the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. This isn't just a seasonal project for us; it's a heartfelt contribution to a community that shaped our values. Starting in the 1960s, Scouting has been an integral part of our lives, and we're proud to continue that tradition. We meticulously create durable, high-quality claws and other honor camping items that stand the test of time. During the summers, our entire family comes together to work on these projects, ensuring that every Boy Scout receives a claw they can wear proudly. It's not just about crafting items; it's about passing on values and traditions to the next generation.

    We don't carry machine parts. However, your best bet is to get a parts manual and start your search on eBay. If you're looking for bearings and belts, try an industrial supply store.

  • Do you offer PDF's of manuals?

    Right now, we only offer high-quality printed paper manuals. However, we are considering offering PDF versions in the future.

    We ship all orders within 24 hours on business days. You will receive an email with tracking information. If you can't find it, email us and we'll help you locate your order.

    You can find the total number of pages for each manual under the "Description" section on our website. Keep in mind that we count both sides of each sheet as one page and usually don't count pages that lack content.
