The end
product-furniture-is
what
draws
most
people
to
woodworking.
You see
a
cabinet
you'd
like to
replicate,
or a
table
you wish
were a
foot
narrower,
or you
are
simply
out of
shelves
and set
out to
build a
bookcase.
But I'm
convinced
that
most
woodworkers
stick
with the
craft
because
of what
happens
in the
workshop-not
what
comes
out of
it.
This
book-compiled
from
years'
worth of
articles
from
Fine
Woodworking
magazine-offers
a peek
inside
the
shops of
some of
the
world's
finest
craftsmen.
Whether
it's an
elaborate
workbench
designed
for
cutting
dovetails
or a
simple
jig used
to cut
tapered
legs,
woodworkers
have
come up
with
smart,
efficient
aids for
storing,
surfacing
and
shaping
wood.
And the
smartest
ones
I've
seen are
all
featured
here.
The
workstations,
jigs,
fixtures,
and
storage
units in
this
book are
presented
with
detailed
exploded
drawings-all
the
information
woodworkers
need to
build
their
own. But
the
ingenious
creations
here
also
serve as
a
launching
point
for
designing
jigs,
fixtures
and shop
improvements
for your
own
workshop.
This
book is
a
celebration
of what
goes on
behind
the
scenes
in the
woodshop-studied
closely,
it's as
mesmerizing
as the
furniture
that
leaves
the
shop.
