Rating: Summary: Making your own makes it better Review: This book was the third book I bought when I started planning my workshop. As I flipped through the book at the local book store I saw that is was full of usefull information on how to build benches and storage for my workshop. So once I got it home and read it cover to cover, I was convinced I had spent my money wisely. I've already used the plans to build a cabinet makers work bench, and the adjustable stool in the very back of the book. The book shows the general plans, and u can alter them to fit your individual needs. It is straighforward, and very usefull. What else could you ask for?
Rating: Summary: IF you are building your own workshop, take this book home.. Review: This is one of the three books I bought when I first started planning my workshop. Beacuse my workshop is in an old one car garage, I needed some ideas for storage of tools, and a good sturdy workbench. Engler really put some time into choosing what items to put into this book. I've already built a cabinet makers workbench, and the adjustable stool in the back of the book, and I'm very happy with the way both of them turned out. Take into consideration that I'm a novice woodworker, and it didn't take me very long at all to build these two things. This book is well oraganized and well presented. The plans are simple to follow and the materials are pretty easy to find in local hardware and woodshop stores. Overall this book is a great investment for the amount of knowledge you get in return.

Rating: Summary: A must read book for making your own workshop Review: When I started getting together my tools, and supplies for my workshop, I wasn't sure what to mount this to or where to put that. So I went looking around to the usual places....book stores and hobby shops and of course Amazon.com. And I found this book here....looked through the description, and ordered it right away. Nick Engler lays it out in a very straight forward and forthright manner. Detailed plans, and just general ideas for tool storage, work benches, and planning ideas for every shop. This book is the is a must read, for anyone who is starting their own workshop, or just looking for new ideas.
