Summary: 5 Stars
Christopher Schwartz has finally written the first workbench book that covers not only the how, but the why of workbench construction. Clearly written and engaging, it's a must for anyone honestly considering building their own bench. Unlike other workbench titles that present only pretty pictures of other people's creations, Jonathan takes you through the thought process of creating a bench that's right for YOUR needs. Along the way he debunks many myths and makes compelling arguments for his design decisions.

Summary of Workbenches: From Design And Theory To Construction And Use (Popular Woodworking)
Every workbench should allow the woodworker to easily work the edges, faces and ends of boards, however most benches built during the last 100 years fail on at least one of these tasks. Workbenches is the only book that shows the reader how to design and build a good workbench and most importantly, how to use it in their shop for all sorts of tasks. This book dives deep into the historical records of the 18th and 19th centuries and breathes new life into traditional designs that are simpler than modern benches, easier to build and perfect for both power and hand tools. Two venerable designs are provided as basic skeletons and the knowledge presented shows woodworkers how to design custom workbenches, perfect for their style and method of woodworking.Projects Books
