How to Make Workbenches & Shop Storage Solutions: 28 Projects to Make Your Workshop More Efficient from the Experts at American Woodworker (Fox Chapel Publishing) Torsion Boxes, Outfeed Tables, & More

I'm planning my next shop. I already have one but I'm outgrowing it. It's a good problem to have in my industry. Anyway, I rarely find commercially available workbench solutions that work for my needs. Books like this one provide a strong catalyst to designing and building my own workbenches and storage systems. This will be in my library for some time to come. It's full of great ideas, tips, and tricks. If you follow along, you'll be able to create excellent woodshed furniture to help you streamline your processes while keeping your shop organized. That second part is the goal of any production shop.

this book takes you step by step and even tells you what to buy and how big to cut.

I ordered this book accidentally, as I was trying to order the wood finishes book. However, it was in one of my lists and I was going to order it later anyway. I could have returned it but decided to keep it, for future reference when I DO get ready to build my workbench. The book itself has several different sizes and types of workbenches to choose from, depending on your space and your needs. Full detailed plans and material lists make it much easier to plan your exact project. But it also begins with a section explaining workbenches, why you need one and how to select exactly what you need. Great reference.

Bought is book for ideas for cabinets and storage for hubby workshop. Lots of great ideas and easy to follow plans.

Good information in the book easy to read

My husband will be using this to build a bunch of gunsmith and work benches. Great book!

This could be a 5 star review. However, like many woodworking books it is a PDF rather than an e-book, that is OK for the pictures, but it make the text a little difficult to read, especially on smaller screens. The pictures and step by step instructions are excellent. The main issue that cost it 2 stars is the cut lists and cutting layouts on at least one project are inaccurate. Sheet goods are mislabeled to material type and the cut lists list the wrong materials is several instances. I would recommend this book, but caution readers to be very careful to verify the accuracy of the cut lists and read the instructions a few time before starting the project.

The book was in like-new condition! I was very pleased with the condition of the used book.

This book is awesome! I like that it shows techniques you can use to make any type of cabinets not just for the workshop. The book comes with lots of plans that include cut lists. The images in the book are also really great. Would recommend this book!

Gives you some good ideas about making your own workbench

There are some great ideas in here. Everything in this book would be super helpful in just about any shop. The only thing I don't like about this book was that it's not metric. I guess that's on me though; assuming something I bought from the Australian Amazon would be in a measurement system actually used here...

Currently building own workshop (well large shed) full of great solutions to maximise space. Already used some of ideas/plans. WOULD RECOMMEND

Nice pictures
