Book Reviews of The Workbench: A Complete Guide to Creating Your Perfect Bench
Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars
Until I got that book I didn't know what a useful tool a good workbench could be. I had been getting by for years with makeshift creations thrown together from scrap, but after reading this book I was inspired to build a good woodworker's bench with a pattern maker's vise and bench dogs out of maple.
The book is full of terrific ideas for every budget and time commitment. Some of them, like the pipe clamp bench are ingenious. I only wish I had time and space to build all of the ideas in this book. Even if you only have the time and budget to throw something together from scrap, this book will help you get the most out of your workbench.
