1: Great book
Until I got that book I didn't know what a useful tool a good workbench could be. I had been getting by for years with makeshift creations thrown together from scrap, but after reading this book I was inspired to build a good woodworker's bench with a pattern maker's vise and bench dogs out of maple.
The book is full of terrific ideas for every budget and time commitment. Some of them, like the pipe clamp bench are ingenious. I only wish I had time and space to build all of the ideas in this book. Even if you only have the time and budget to throw something together from scrap, this book will help you get the most out of your workbench.

2: I can't stop drooling.
First: the Product Description above says this book "provides in-depth information...." If you are hoping for shop drawings for the benches shown, you're going to be sorely disappointed. This isn't a how-to book. This is a dream and drool book that also has a ton of information about what you should consider before building or buying a bench.
The bench I built after reading this book and several others is not a copy of any of them. The final product works because of what I learned from the books. This one is totally and completely beautiful and accomplishes what it set out to do.
Leave this on your coffee table - that way you won't look silly drooling by yourself.

3: Costly book to own.
What a great book. Fascinating to read about the history and variety of workbenches.
Problem: I have spent far too much money rebuilding the benches in my shop due to the insiration from this book.

4: Thinking About Building A WorkBench / Buy This Book
This is a great book for you if that's the case. Or a great gift for someone who is a woodworker. Great info and the book is put together well. Good book to have if you are a woodworker.
