Description of  Woodworking Projects for Your Shop

Perhaps the most complex task a woodworker will ever undertake is to design the right workshop. Not only do you need to consider where to place your woodworking machines and how to store your tools, but you have to worry about electrical service, insulation, lighting and dust collection - not to mention you have to avoid going broke. The process can be overwhelming, but with the help of Woodworking Projects for Your Shop you can transform almost any space into a place that is comfortable and safe to work in for hours on end. Instead of focusing on how to make your shop look nice, this book takes the more practical route to show you how to make sure you have the right gauge wiring to avoid a fire, how to select the right inexpensive florescent bulbs for shop lighting and how to insulate your shop so the bad weather stays out and the bothersome noises stay in. Nearly every woodworker who has designed a shop has some regrets. More power outlets, more lights, better access, better storage and more headroom are all common complaints. With Woodworking Projects for Your Shop, you'll find out what many of the common mistakes are so you can avoid them the first time you set up shop.
