CD: The Best of Shops & Workbenches

Though woodworkers seem to have 100 different ways of performing a single operation, there are a few things we all agree on. And one of them is that we really like our shops and our workbenches. Even if they are run-down, cramped, ill-lit or just odd, we're always seeking to make the best of the space we're given.

On this easy-to-use CD, you'll find the 62 best articles on workbenches, shop furniture, shop organization and the essential jigs and fixtures that have been published in Popular Woodworking and Woodworking Magazine during the last 10 years. You'll discover articles on all aspects of creating and improving your workshop – everything from the electric service and duct collection to building a workbench and storing your hand tools. No matter what your workshop situation, the articles on this CD will help you make your shop a more efficient and pleasant place to work.

Here's a look at some of the highlights:
