Celebrating The Place Where Craftsmanship Begins
A workshop is much more than a physical place full of tools. It is the place where a woodworker imagines, designs, tries, fails and succeeds in making something beautiful out of wood. Some shops are used to earn a living, some to pass on the craft. In all shops new designs are forged, limits are tested, and art is created. Author Scott Gibson takes you on a guided tour of over 30 workshops. You'll meet furniture makers, boat builders, turners, and others -- all of whom share a common love: creating in wood. Over 290 photos give you an inside look at these outstanding shops. You'll learn how they evolved and how they suit the individual needs of the woodworkers who own them.
