Not being part of the living space of the house, a workshop is often in an area with physical challenges, such as low head room in a basement shop or the need to work around a difficult floor plan. Specialised woodworking tasks require different shop configurations and different tooling and a different strategy for layout or accessories. This book uses the popular Idea Book format to address these many challenges, showing a wide variety of clever ideas and solutions for basics such as tool storage, lumber storage, accessorising workbenches for special tasks, and dedicated workstations.
