Setting Up Your Workshop: Straight Talk for Today's Woodworker (Back To Basics) from Fox Chapel Publishing
Fox Chapel Publishing, 2010.
$19.95; 152 pp.

Here’s another book we recently received from the publisher and we're giving you an opportunity to win a copy. Leave a comment here for your chance to win.

Setting Up Your Workshop: Straight Talk for Today's Woodworker (Back To Basics) from Fox Chapel Publishing looks like a neat little book that covers a lot of topics. The Shop Layout chapter includes scale drawings of typical shop machines so you can layout your shop on paper first. It also includes things like lighting, electricity, floors and ceilings, and heating and ventilation. There is a Workbench chapter that includes instructions for building a bench as well as information on vises and other accessories. Shop Accessories includes dust collection, bench grinders, and air compressors. The Storage chapter has info on storing lumber, hand tools, clamps and the like. Finally, there is a section on Work Surfaces and one on Safety. This looks like a good book to look at before (and even after) you set up your shop.

Lucky KenHANGITALL is the winner. His comment was chosen at random.

KenHANGITALL writes: I finally got to finish reading the book. I thought it was very well done but some of it was a little to basic. I think that a follow up book for improving and expanding a basic shop would be a great addition. Show us how the pros tackle their shops. All in all I liked the book and love Fine Woodworking.

This one, with the layouts of tools, looks like it could have a lot of very practical advice.

Please put me on the list to win this.

Some approaches are too elementary, some much too detailed (though that is good for the beginner), some just repeat ideas found in every other publication (not a bad idea to repeat good ideas). Hopefully this publication has some enovations and some true and tried basics.

tpobrien writes: I would like to know how to expand my shop from a 2-car garage to a 3-car garage, put both cars in, and still be able to move around. The shop expansion is not going to happen, because of real estate setback limitations.

Barring that expansion, I am willing to leave one car out of the garage, so I need suggestions on making good use of my one-car-garage equivalent space. Because of the hillside placement of the house, the architect made the garage ceiling 15 feet high. So there is some hope.

Anyhow, this book might help.

Yves96 writes: The many projects on my honey-do list are often delayed and/or unreasonably extended because of a too-small shop filled with tools and materials; and not enough useful working space. Much time is spent in moving things in order to run equipment or perform tasks. Therefore; this publication would doubtless be beneficial in correcting this flaw! However; truth be known, some of the above mentionned hesitation may be attributed to my own flaws; i.e. procrastination.

George D. writes: I belive we all can learn something from one another. No matter how many times one may have set up a shop, you can always see something that should be moved a little or placed some where different. Looking at books and studying layouts can always be important in setting up a shop or making changes. Just do not try to read and study them all or you will get so confused you will not know which way is best. Just pick one and go for it. Changes can be made later.

It would be nice to start off orderly because I'm notorious for cornering myself with clutter so that I hardly have room to work. I find that gleaning from the experts is very helpful in most things.

Ron Alley writes: I'm working on the plan for a third bay shop in my garage. It is about 170 square feet of soon to be heaven. I've received some good advice from John White and other who responded to my blog post. The best piece on a garage shop of this size I have seen to date is from 2002/2003 FW Tools & Shops, by Michael Teague, entitled "Smart Shop in a One-Car Garage". It is really great, but I like to see this book might update Michael Teague's example.
