This volume, again geared to amateur and intermediate woodworkers, covers all aspects of setting up and maintaining a home workshop, starting with the safety considerations and including layout, placement and use of workbenches, accessories and work surfaces and how to maximise storage space. There are lots of build it yourself suggestions and shop tips covering every aspect of a home workshop and lots of useful illustrations and descriptions of the various options and requirements for a safe workshop. This has also been written in such a way that it can easily be applied to workshop or workshop areas of various different scales and purposes.

Basic reference for building storage for the workshop. Too complex for my skills in 2016.
