Workbenches: Build the Ideal Bench

This is an awesome old school build a workbench kinda book. From fairly simple to advanced monstrosities. It doesn’t have plans per se but it gives a ton of ideas and things to look for whether you are buying or building a woodworking workbench.

Great thorough book with lots of good designs for every skill level of woodworker.

Skimming through the book it appears that the content is really good. Unfortunately, it was shipped in a padded paper envelope, so the corners are all bent and banged up. Even though I bought it new, it looks used and abused.

This and two other workbench books helped me decide what kind of workbench I wanted. Unfortunately, high end benches are very expensive. Building one is challenging. The book is helpful in understanding the techniques that are required.
