A practical guide to workbench design

Lon Schleining’s guide treats the workbench as a piece of shop equipment to choose, build, and adapt around woodworking tasks. It surveys bench designs across their history, then brings together plans and options for benches and accessories. Construction, maintenance, and workspace optimization are also covered, with photographs and drawings illustrating designs and applications. The scope connects practical decisions—whether to make a bench from scratch or modify an existing one—with the broader range of ways workbenches have been designed and used.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Woodworkers comparing workbench designs or planning a new bench
  • Craftspeople looking to build, maintain, or adapt a workbench
  • Readers interested in the history and evolution of woodworking benches
