Workbenches, Revised Edition: From Design & Theory to Construction & Use Book

Every board has edges, faces and end grain. So every workbench should be able to easily work the edges, faces and ends of boards. But most benches built during the last 100 years will fail you on at least one of these tasks.

These old-school benches are simpler than modern benches, easier to build and surprisingly perfect for both power and hand tools.
