Whether woodworking is your hobby or your profession, you'll get more enjoyment and satisfaction from the craft when you have a practical and functional workspace.

The Practical Workshop is your guide to setting up a sensible shop with an efficient workflow and everything you need to make the best use of your time.

You'll discover ways to streamline your operations and get plans for all the shop furniture you need to outfit your space.

Woodworking can be a respite from the bustle of daily life, especially if your shop is well-organized and your tools are where they're supposed to be. This book can help you set up a great workspace, avoid clutter and get the most out of your woodworking.
