This has some neat ideas on how to set up a shop and the projects looked really useful but laziness killed it for me.
My one gripe is that the projects lacked materials lists or cut diagrams. Maybe I'm lazy, but I don't want to sit down with a long list of cuts and tetris them into a sheets of plywood and figure out what I need to buy if a professional has already done it before. Knowing how many sheets I need and how they are cut most efficiently saves me time and money. Otherwise, I'm searching the web for similar plans instead of using the plans in the book (which happened).
So, if the writers' and reader's laziness weren't in such perfect synchronicity, these plans might have gotten built.
