Product Description

Product Description

No single workbench design is ideal for everyone: some craftspeople assemble furniture, while others require only special clamps for smaller projects. Based on the authors 30 years of experience, this informative handbook will help every woodworker construct exactly the bench he or she needs. Anyone with basic skills could build either the study and versatile joiners bench or one for cabinetmakers, and adapt them for individual use. Other workbenches have storage drawers and cabinet, or are designed for specialties like carving, veneering, guitar making, and more. And this book offers more than just plans for building the bench - it features information on setting it up, installing the tools, and using it for planning, joinery, power tool operations, and assembly.

4.0 out of 5 stars I have used this book to build a bench. It works., 8 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Workbenches: Planning, Building, Outfitting (Paperback)
This book is a practical exposition of the history, design and functions of woodworking benches. There are detailed plans and instructions for construction of a general purposes joiner's bench and a traditional cabinetmaker's bench. You do need to be able to interpret and amplify the drawings and instructions to some degree, but if you can't then you probably shouldn't try. The context for the author's suggestions and advice is clearly US, but European readers should be able to transpose them into a local context. The use of benches, brief details of clamping and other aids, and outlines of a number of specialised benches are given. The text and plans could be clearer and fuller, but if I can use them to make a *really nice* bench, then so could you. Be warned though, if you build the 6ft x 3ft joiner's bench, you will probably need two pairs of hands and some trestles. It's *very* heavy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money for a beginner to intermediate woodworker., 28 Jan 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Workbenches: Planning, Building, Outfitting (Paperback)
Worth the money for the beginner (me) woodworker seeking to understand the functions of the various parts of the bench. Details wood selection and reasons for the selection. The sections on how to use the bench are particularly useful in determining the design of a bench you make youself or in selecting a ready made from a woodworkers supply.
