Solutions for the Small Shop

Most of us do our woodworking in small shops and shared spaces, so being organized is important. But if you're like me, that's easier said than done. The editors of ShopNotes magazine have a large, modern shop to work in at work, but they also work in small shops at home and have brought that experience to the projects in their new book, Small Shop Solutions.

Topics include plans for the Ultimate Shop Makeover (it's on the cover), plus how to build your own shop accessories and space-saving storage. And, being a ShopNotes publication, there are tons of tips and techniques to make your time in the shop more productive.

It's a 100-page soft cover book, no advertising. It's $9.95 and shipping is free. You can get more details and photos here at the WoodsmithStore.com.

Read a Good Book Lately?

How about three of them?

Here's a terrific offer from August Home Publishing (my boss) for woodworkers and home improvers. They're offering three 100-page softcover books for half price if you buy all three. They sold on the newsstand for $9.95 each. But now, for $14.95, you get all three--300 pages of woodworking plans, techniques articles, and home improvement storage projects. And just in time for woodworking season -- yes, Virginia, cooler weather will return.

Go here to see what's in each book. Then dream about spending some real time in your shop again.
