Description

Two centuries of workbench wisdom in one book. This comprehensive guide distills the history and engineering of workbenches into fundamental ideas that all woodworkers can use. Learn how to design and build a world-class workbench, and discover the secrets of good workbench design that have been largely forgotten.

Christopher Schwarz presents five benches for you to try, including two sturdy English benches and two variations on the French Roubo, as well as a portable bench that can be clamped to any solid surface. The technical drawings are clear and show every detail, making it easy to follow the step-by-step instructions and build any of these benches.

Perfect for both power and hand tools, these old-school benches are simpler to build and perfect for beginners. With this book, your first workbench will do everything you need it to do - and possibly for the rest of your woodworking career.
