Product Description:
In this fresh and contemporary look at the world of workbenches, Lon Schleining takes us on a guided tour of a wide variety of classic, modern, and specialty benches and offers hundreds of options for choosing or building that perfect bench and its accessories. The Workbench looks at the classic subject with a focus on helping readers find the right bench and accessories for their needs. The object is to guide the reader through making critical choices, including whether to buy it or build it. Even long-time woodworkers dream of the perfect bench and the time to build it, and for them the real enjoyment is in the planning. With 279 colour photos and additional illustrations, this book provides in-depth information along with the inspiration to fulfill workshop dreams.

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.

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.

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.

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.
