EDITORIAL REVIEW

One type of workshop may not suit every woodworker—after all, a turner has different needs than a furniture maker—but one guide is just right for telling every woodworker how to set up the perfect shop. Wood® Magazine provides ideal standards for work flow, machine space, electric power, lighting, ventilation, dust control, and other factors. More than 250 well-illustrated pages present advice on choosing the right space, checking for adequate electricity, customizing a room, heating systems, security in the shop, noise protection, and eyewear options. Plus, there’s coverage of workbenches, from drop-lead to full service; stools, stands, and supports; shop cabinet craftsmanship; special storage needs; and easy racks, holders, and organizers. A Selection of the F & W Book Club.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Ok but not great.
~ Written on Sep 15, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

One the plus side, this book details a lot of projects to improve one's shop- complete with cut list and details on assembly. If your woodworking goals are to build IKEA like furnishings for your shop, then this book might be great. I much prefer the Taunton books that provide advice but also showcase really well made and thought out projects.

.... Good general overview of work shop. Good pointers on work space and work flow ideas. It's good for the do it yourself enthusiasts and beginners. I'd recommend the book to anyone thinking about building a home work shop...

Easily the best shop idea book I have found

This is a wonderful idea book. It has many projects you can build to better utilize your space. None of the Taunton books offered any where near the useful information that this book has. This is the FIRST book I recommend to others to purchase for shop ideas and layout.

great resource

I am in the process of completing a major home remodeling project. I purchased this book along with several others to get ideas for maximizing the available space in a two car garage. I got some great space saving ideas for making storage and work modules from others in this book who have done so. I highly recommend this book as a resource for ideas.
