When you make a stand and outfeed tables for your table saw, you'll learn to join a case piece using biscuits; a task you'll encounter repeatedly as a woodworker. Building a router table, you'll learn another common method for building cases: using the table saw to cut dadoes and rabbets.

Build Your Own Customized Workbench That Reflects Your Needs and Personality

Probably more than any other tool in the shop, the custom workbench reflects the personality and experience of its maker. And for the great majority of makers, the construction of the workbench is a labor of love. In The Workbench Book, Scott Landis examines benches for all kinds of woodworking -- from a traditional Shaker bench to a mass-produced Workmate. There are benches for cabinetmakers, boatbuilders, carvers, and country chairmakers. In each case, detailed photos and illustrations show how the bench works and help guide you through the tough parts in its construction.

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.
