Every board has edges, faces and end grain. So every workbench
should be able to easily work the edges, faces and ends of boards.
But most benches built during the last 100 years will fail you on
at least one of these tasks. This book dives deep into the
historical records of the 18th and 19th centuries and breathes new
life into traditional designs that have lain dormant for decades
and 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. Encompassing years of
historical research and real-world trials, this book boils down
centuries of the history and engineering of workbenches into simple
ideas that all woodworkers can use. With this book, your very first
workbench will do everything you need it to do for the rest of your
career in the craft. This revised and expanded edition includes 64
pages of new information including a step-by-step build and
measured drawings for an 18th-century French bench and a knockdown
English bench, as well as recent advances in workholding
