Book Reviews of Workbenches: From Design And Theory To Construction And Use (Popular Woodworking)
Book Review: Excellent book -- nice diagrams and complete instructions for making a workbench
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is excellent for showing a few different workbenches and giving full plans for each of them. A popular bench for many people seems to be the Roubo ([...]), and I fall into that camp as well. It's massive construction lends itself well for working with hand tools. I've been working on my bench based off this book ([...]). The book was a fun read while being useful and it definitely got me energized to tackle my own workbench. Ultimately, that's why you'd buy the book, right?

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
