The Workshop Book, Scott Landis (book)

First published in 1991, The Workshop Book by Scott Landis remains the most complete book about every woodworker's favorite place: the workshop. It is a richly illustrated guided tour of some of the world's most inspiring workshops, from garage and basement shops to mobile and purpose-built shops.

Landis traveled all over North America to discover the workshops in this book, and the result is an intriguing and illuminating look at multiple successful approaches to shop layout. A woodworker himself, his journey became a personal quest for the elements he would include in his own dream workshop. Whether you are an amateur or professional, just starting out or well along the way, the book offers a wealth of ideas and inspiration for setting up your ideal shop.

You'll also find advice on:
20 detailed floor plans for a range of shops (basement, shed, mobile, purpose-built and more)
Storage for tools, lumber and supplies
Heating, lighting and electrics
Dust collection
