No single workbench design is ideal for everyone. Whether you need room to assemble large pieces of furniture or special clamps to secure the parts of smaller projects, you can create your own perfect workbench with the help of the Making Workbenches Book.
Learn the different types of bench available, and select the kind that's best for you. Then, using basic woodworking skills, build a sturdy and versatile joiner's bench or a classic cabinetmaker's bench, and adapt it to meet your needs. Make the most of space by incorporating storage drawers and a cabinet into its base.
See what types of vise are available and how to install them, and outfit a bench with all necessary tools and supplies. Once it's built and set up, find out how to use you new "tool" for planing joinery, power tool operation and project assembly -- making work easier and faster. Discover how to design specialty benches for furniture making, carving, veneering, chairmaking, guitar-making and other crafts. With a good-quality, practical, customized workbench, your woodworking can become better and more efficient than ever before.
