Book Reviews of The Workbench: A Complete Guide to Creating Your Perfect Bench
Book Review: I can't stop drooling.
Summary: 5 Stars
First: the Product Description above says this book "provides in-depth information...." If you are hoping for shop drawings for the benches shown, you're going to be sorely disappointed. This isn't a how-to book. This is a dream and drool book that also has a ton of information about what you should consider before building or buying a bench.
The bench I built after reading this book and several others is not a copy of any of them. The final product works because of what I learned from the books. This one is totally and completely beautiful and accomplishes what it set out to do.
Leave this on your coffee table - that way you won't look silly drooling by yourself.
