The Workbench Design Book by Christopher Schwarz

I’ve just finished reading Christopher Schwarz’s , The Workbench Design Book: The Art & Philosophy of Building Better Benches. This book is a treatise on designing and building the perfect woodworking work bench. It’s a treatise on how to bring together the best aspects of hand tool and power tool wood working. Through his lengthy research, Mr. Schwarz lays out what the various European masters used in their workbenches and why. This book is a must read if you are in need of a new and better work bench. It provides a great primer for building a bench that will hopefully be with you for a vey long time…the lifelong bench.
