One of the best How-To-Get-Started Books I've ever seen.
Not only is this the best book on planning a home woodworking shop I've found, it's also one of the best how-to books I've read in general. It's geared toward the person who doesn't have a clear picture of space layout, tool purchasing, maintenance, and workshop use. With an interview and description of THE Master Carpenter, Norm Abram, it opens a Pandora's Box for the aspiring or beginning woodworker. The book contains detailed samples of workshops for different stages of woodworker, from beginner to professional. It also lists suggested tool purchases for each stage with example costs and advancement from mid-line to professional quality tools. Several helpful build-it-yourself shop aids are also described.

If you're just starting out and are looking for a book which will guide you through the bewildering task of laying out, stocking, maintaining, and using a home workshop, this is the book for you.

Excuse me, but I think I hear my miter saw calling me...
