The Practical Workshop: A Woodworker's Guide to Workbenches, Layout & Tools Paperback – June 7, 2017

Great for understanding the basics of workflow in the shop. Also, the section on benches was very helpful. I read it cover to cover. Much more informed now. Still a newb and have a long way to go...

Informative and insightful. Now I have more on my to do list. Thanks Christopher. The kind of projects I had intended but had yet to pencil out for myself.

Well written by a great educator. Very entertaining and the photography is excellent. This is a primer for anyone starting out in woodworking or someone moving up to develop a more serious set of skills. A hands on approach.

very helpful in reorganizing

As a beginning woodworker, this book used with a few others, was a tremendous help.

Excellent reference and an unexpectedly pleasant read. Mr. Schwarz is a recognized expert on the subject as well as a master woodworker.

Packed full information

"The Practical Workshop" subtitle "A Woodworker's Guide To Workbenches, Layout, & Tools" was what attracted my attention. I found this book to be disappointing, if you own or have read Christopher Schwartz's "Workbenches: From Design And Theory" or you're a reader of Popular Woodworking (PW). I've been a subscriber of PW since the late 1990's, and seen much of the material in this book with minimal additional new details that supports the subtitle. I read this book as a annotated compilation reprint.However, if you do not fall into my above caveat and you are reluctant to search the PW website for your specific interests, then this book provides a fair bit of information.
