This revised edition of Christopher Schwarz's classic book on workbenches examines the fundamental rules of good bench design. At the end of the day a workbench is a tool for holding wood as many ways as possible. Every workbench should be able to easily work the edges, faces and ends of boards. With this core function in mind, some of the best workbenches are the ones that have been proven throughout history. This book looks at workbench designs from the 18th and 19th centuries that were utterly fantastic to use. These old-school benches are simpler than modern benches, easier to build and surprisingly perfect for both power and hand tools. In addition to an in depth examination of bench design, this book demystifies complex vises and ways of holding work.
