With a modest workspace, a few basic tools and techniques, and this commonsense guide, aspiring home woodworkers can set up a functional and productive workshop. The advice is practical and approachable, acknowledging that setting up shop is a gradual process of buying a tool, learning a skill, and then using that skill and tool. The four projects are organized by level of difficulty, progressing from a basic box and bookcase to a more challenging shop cabinet and even addressing the complex subject of joinery. Safety protocol, including all-important fire prevention, is emphasized throughout, ensuring that beginning craftspeople build consistent safety habits as they build their skills and shops.
