The Workbench Design Book not only shows how to design a workbench—
it also discusses and presents nine specific designs plus critiques of 10 additional
workbenches, with suggestions for making any bench work most
effectively for the kind of work the user does. The nine workbench plans
have a range suitable for all workshop needs, from handwork to power
tools. A discussion of workbench design rules teach what’s effective and
why in a multitude of workshop situations. Additional workholding options—from
shop-made jigs and commercial bench dogs to vise hardware—are
also provided.
