American Woodworker is one of the premier publications for woodworking. Their roster of craftsman contributors provide top-notch technical information in a way that hobbyist can understand. The magazine has been in business for decades with over 140 issues in their backlist. Randy Johnson is the Editor.
There have been some recent talk on a couple of woodworking forums
about workbenches and our current book from Fox Chapel fits right
in. So, if you are a new woodworker and need a new bench or just
want to upgrade your shop with a new one this is the book for you.
Take a look! Dave Munkittric's workbench on page 10 is to die for
but is more of an excellent storage solution than a workbench. Turn
to page 23 to see Tom Caspar's $250. 2x4 and plywood bench or to
page 34 for a more conventional but novel workbench by the same
author. What's a workbench without a first class vise? Caspar
provides the ins and outs of bench vises with tios on installing
them. Assembly tables and rolling storage carts all part of a well
equipped wood shop and then there is the tool cabinet. George
Vondriska and Dave Munkittrick show you plans for an excellently
designed one. Sliding pegboard, the master tool of any workshop,
and a tool caddy are described and a great expandable router bit
storage system is outlined. This book is crammed full of terrific
shop ideas and tips on compact storage solutions.
We all know that better tools make it easier to create better
projects - and the same goes for our work spaces. If they are
organized, convenient, and help us with our woodworking tasks then
we can place more attention onto the project. This book, filled
with information, plans, and photos, has projects for: workbenches,
assembly tables, tool storage, material storage, and torsion boxes
and they have been selected based on their ability to move, hang,
stay firm, hold, and adjust. That pretty much covers everything.
There are big projects, such as the "Dream Workbench" and there are
small ones such as the stool made from just 1/2 a sheet of plywood
or the dovetailed toolbox that could easily become a family
heirloom. Big and small, this book as an abundance of projects as
well as handy little ideas that can be adapted to any work space,
such as the pull-out dividers. Overall I give this book a "two
thumbs up".
HOW TO MAKE WORKBENCHES & SHOP STORAGE SOLUTIONS, also from the
editors of American Woodworker magazine, features 28 projects to
make a workshop more efficient. It features step-by-step projects
for a variety of benches, toolboxes, shelving and cabinets. Other
projects include a heavy-duty folding shop table, sawhorse and tool
cart. It also includes three bonus projects for building a torsion
box.
In this compilation of workshop storage projects and tables, a
variety of contributors from American Woodworker magazine pre sent
solid workbench and table designs as well as construction for bins,
racks, and other storage pieces. Not for the beginner, this guide
is aimed at the experienced woodworker who is serious about an
efficient and tidy workshop. There are a number of great projects
not seen elsewhere, such as two folding shop tables and other
clever pieces that serve double duty. Professional tips and a
detailed section on vises round out the coverage. There is
something here for every workshop; recommended.
