This book is worth a look to anyone.
28 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
I just finished reading this book and although it is not the best book on the subject (call it a close second), I did find it a worthwhile read. There is the usual overlap of basic information which every shop set-up book seems to have, but what I found most interesting about this book was:
1. The sections detailing different considerations each woodworker must take into account based on the type of woodworking he/she wants to do (i.e. carving vs. cabinetmaking vs. crafts vs. boatbuilding, etc.)
2. The many great suggestions and tips to maximize storage space and organize your work.
3. The attention to safety issues.
4. The pictures of, and more importantly, the shop layout diagrams of some successful pro woodworking shops.
5. The budget-conscious recommendations for every step of outfitting a shop.
As I said, I do recommend this book as worthwhile reading, but for the best book I have come across on the subject, check out "Setting Up Shop" by Sandor Nagyszalanczy.

A great place to start if you're planning a workshop!
15 April 2000
Format:Paperback
This book provides a good variety of examples and solutions. It also gives the workshop beginner some ideas about which tools will be most vital to their work, depending on their particular interests. I think the best feature of this book is that it demonstrates good workshop design with real examples. I haven't read some of the other workshop books, so I can't make a comparision, but I feel the book will help guide me through the entire process of setting up my own workshop. Thanks.

Insightful & Useful
1 May 2002
Format:Paperback
I found this revised version an invaluable reference book while planning my workshop. Bill Stankus writes in a style that is informative and entertaining - an important characteristic of any reference book. The floorplans of various shops, illustrations and photographs of professional shops were both useful and acted as a good tool to begin planning my shop. Information on shop safety, consideration of budgets and vairous tools and skills only increased my appreciation of this book. I have read other books on this subject and found THIS book to be the best read, with valuable and TIME-SAVING (very important!) advice. I would recommend this to any woodworker interested in maximing their workshop potential!
